Going Further
Since it is likely that you will often have important advice
to send to the President, why don't you put a mailto link
to the President (and the Vice-President while we're at
it) in your homepage? That is very easy to do.
Adding
Mailto: Links to your Homepage
Open your homepage file with an editor and insert (exactly
as written) the following HTML code:
You can do this by copying the text directly off the browser
screen with the mouse and pasting it into your homepage
file, or you can (carefully) type the lines into the file.
The lines may be placed anywhere in the file after the <body>
command and before the </body> command.
Now save the file and use your second browser window to
open your homepage. (You may have to do a "Reload" to get
the browser to see the modified file.) If things have been
done properly, you should get something like the following
as part of your homepage display:
and if you click on these links they should allow us to
send email to the corresponding addresses.
Now Customize Your Homepage
With Mail Links
That's pretty easy, huh? Now use these two mailto links
as templates to customize your homepage by adding some links
for other people that you may want to email frequently.
You can either change these two examples to other addresses,
or you can just add more mailto links to these.
In this HTML code the <h3> Some Mail Links: </h3>
command just defines a heading of a particular size ("level
3"; there are 6 levels of headings with level 1 having the
largest font and level 6 the smallest) and <p> is
just a command to insert a paragraph (i.e., to skip a line).
The rest corresponds to mailto links, which you now know
all about!
