Creating a Link

Steps on creating a link to pages on the DBC website and the web

There are two primary types of links: internal and external.

Internal links refer to another page on the DBC website. For instance, this link will take you to the main "How To" page
External links refer to pages on the web outside of the DBC website. For instance, this link will take you to the DBC race team website.
