Hey there, I'm trying to practice how to make html links on Codepen, but I have no idea what they're talking about. I know that if someone puts…<a href="target_page.html" click here to go to target page</a, that it will go there, and I know that a page called target_page.html needs to exist for the link to go there. I've tried to make a new Pen in Codepen and make a new html page called target_page.html and link the pages, but the link only works the first time, and then it takes me back to the html code.I just don't know how to get started, to make multiple pages that link and have a place to test them. If anyone could me I'd really appreciate that. Thanks.

I'd definitely recommend playing with linking in Workspaces, though - you can add as many pages as you'd like and link between them there.

Workspaces does (as Alan has already mentioned) the only other service I know of that's easy to get started and allows you to add pages is cloud9.
