Creating an e-mail link

In the digital age, Web users expect to have instant and easy e-mail contact with you. To make a link to your e-mail address, you'll need to use the anchor tag again. You can separate your e-mail contact with the <HR> tag, which inserts a horizontal line. We've decided to have the e-mail contact link centered on the page. Put it below the list, like this:

<CENTER>
<HR>
<a href="mailto:comments@builder.com">Drop us a line!</a>
</CENTER>


Now, whenever someone viewing our page clicks the words "Drop us a line," that user's e-mail program will automatically start up and open a new message to send to E-Z Accounting.

And that's it--you've built a basic Web page! Don't forget to check your work carefully in a Web browser (several browsers, if possible; get some friends to help) to make sure that all the elements are visible and look the way they should.
