How to create link descriptions on "mouseovers"
It is often useful to place brief descriptions, which appear when you pass over the link with your mouse, within your links.
To do so is relatively easy. When you create the HTML tag for the link, you simply add a Title "attribute". Here is the format of the link tag with a description included. (The Title attribute is in bold for emphasis.):
<A HREF="www.motime.com" title="Motime: Create your own web log in 5 minutes and publish your thoughts to the world!"><b>Motime!</b></A>
And here is what it looks like after it is pasted into a post or template. Hold your mouse over the link for a second to see the descriptive text:
Motime!
Cool, huh?
