Quiz on understanding URLs and creating hyperlinks with the <a> element.

Links and navigation are important for connecting users with the information they need. Here are some best practices for links and navigation:
Linking: Use link keywords and phrases. When linking to documents, indicate that after the link. For example, "Sample Document (pdf)".
Navigation: Keep your left navigation succinct, with eight items or less. Organize your navigation by task, topic, or audience. Shorten your navigation link text. 

You can also use the HTML <a> tag to create hyperlinks. The syntax for the <a> tag is: 
<a href=``URL''> Text </a> 
Here,:
URL: The destination of the link
Text: The part that will be visible as a link

Organize and present links
Facilitate user navigation within or outside the current webpage
Provide a clear structure for menus, tables of contents, or indexes 

The syntax for creating a navigation link is: 
<nav> Links... </nav> 
Common examples of the <nav> elements are menus, tables, contents, and indexes.
