The picture shows the Web site we wish to create. Below are (in simulation) the three disk files that are to be linked. Both Pets and Hobbies are subdirectories of the directory that myHome.html is in.

myHome.html	Hobbies/myHobbies.html	Pets/myPets.html
<html> <head> <title>My Home Page</title> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <h1>Marvelous Me!</h1> </div> <p> I am sure the <b>whole world</b> wants to learn about <b>ME!</b> </p> <p> First you need to know about my <a href="_________"> Pets! </a> </p> <p> And you must marvel at my <a href="_________"> Hobbies! </a> </p> </body> </html>	<html> <head> <title>My Hobbies</title> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <h1>My Hobbies</h1> </div> <p> My hobbies are: <ol> <li>Collecting navel lint</li> <li>Watching reruns of <em>Green Acres</em></li> <li>Telling people about myself.</li> <li>Surfing the Web to find other interesting people like me.</li> </ol> <p> Click here to return to <a href="_________"> my Home Page </a> </p> </body> </html>	<html> <head> <title>My Pets</title> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <h1>My Pets</h1> </div> <p> My pets are: <ol> <li>Albert, the pet rock.</li> <li>Amy, the pet turtle (easily confused with Albert).</li> <li>Andrew, the slug.</li> </ol> <p> Click here to return to <a href="_________"> my Home Page </a> </p> </body> </html>
