That's right, I am kidding. The Internet makes it easy for you to get from place to place without typing in all those URL's. The first way we do this is with links. Links appear on web pages and when you click on them they take you to another page or let you do something. When you move your mouse pointer over a link it usually turns into a hand.
Most links are blue underlined words, but they can be different colors or even pictures.
When you click on a link you will go to another page or send mail or download a file. All a link really does is enter a URL for you. When you move your pointer over a link the URL will be displayed at the bottom of your browser. When you click on the link it goes to this URL for you. Take for example the following link to our hotlinks page.
