A hyperlink is simply a link on the web to another resource. It uses a special kind of command that jumps you to different content in your web browser - usually to another page.
Hyperlinks are often denoted by blue underlined text or content which turns the cursor into a pointing hand when hovered over; however, they can be styled however the web designer wishes; their appearances do not change their function.
Website owners reserve the right not to be hyperlinked without permission.
Hyperlinks are defined in HTML as follows:
<a href="LINK GOES HERE">TEXT GOES HERE</a>
