Link To Us

We’d appreciate it

Twenty years ago no one could have imagined the effects the Internet would have: entire relationships flourish, friendships prosper, there’s a vast new intimacy and accidental poetry, not to mention the weirdest porn. The entire human experience seems to unveil itself like the surface of a new planet.{a}

To link via HTML

The following code should work in any HTML, from v4 onwards{3}, including XHTML (but see note below):

which will look like this on your site:

For more about St Helena go tohttp://sainthelenaisland.info/.

Note that:

• This code provides a small image (our crest) as well as the text. To remove this and have text only, omit the
  <img src="http://sainthelenaisland.info/crest.jpg" alt="Saint Helena Island Info Logo" height="20" />

• You can change the size of the image by altering the value in
  height="20"
  which gives the image height (in pixels). The image on our site is 300x300px.

• This code will cause the link to open in a new window or tab (depending on the user’s browser settings). To cancel this behaviour omit the code
  target="_blank"
  Note that if using XHTML (strict) you must omit this part.
