hyperlinks (final)

The point of a hyperlink is to give a reader more information about something (a recipe, some history about a topic, etc.). Rather than including a link (an actual address) in the text of your essay, use a word that is already there that acts as your link. For example, if I wanted to share my bread recipe with you, it would be better to link folks to the bread recipe. I could have said here is a link (and then provided that link as a URL), but that would have interrupted the flow of my sentence and thus the essay. Add stuff, do whatever...
