TASK: EXERCISE 5.3 CREATING A LINK MENU
Now that you’ve learned how to create lists and links, you can crate a link menu,. link menus are links on your web page that are arranged in list form or in some other short, easy-to-read, and easy-to

understand format. Link menus are terrific for pages that are organized in a hierarchy, for tables of contents, or for navigation amount several pages. Web pages that consists of nothing but inks often organize the links in menu form.
The idea of a link menu is that you use short, descriptive terms as the links, with either no text following the link or with a further description following the link itself. Link menus look best in a bulleted or unordered list format, but you also can use glossary lists or just plain paragraphs. Link menus enable your readers to scan the list of links quickly and easily, a task that might be difficult if you bur your links in body text.
In this exercise, you’ll create a web page for a set of book reviews, this page will serve as the index to the reviews, so the link menu you’ll create is essentially a menu of book names.
Start with a simple page framework: a first-level heading and some basic explanatory text:
< ! DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-/W3c//DTD XHTML 1.0 transitional..EN”
<html>
<head>
<title > really honest book reviews </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>really honest book reviews</h1>
<p> I read a lot of books about many different subjects. Though I’m not a book critic, and I don’t do this for a living, I enjoy a really good read every now and then. Here’s a list of books that I’ve read recently: </p>.
Now add the list that will become the links, without the link tags themselves. It’s always easier to start with link text and then attach actual links text and then attach actual links afterward. For this list, you’ll use a tag to create a bulleted list of individual books. The <o1> tag wouldn’t be appropriate because the number would imply that you were ranking the books in some way. here’s the HTML list of books; figure 5.8 shows the page as it currently looks with the introduction and the list.
