It doesn't look like you've started yet, so I'm not sure what part of the task you're having trouble with. But here's some general hints:

  • a "link" is implemented using an anchor ("<a>") element
  • the display text is placed between the start and end tags
  • the destination of a link is given as the value of the href attribute inside the start tag
  • you can use template syntax in the href value
  • the "url_for" method could be useful here

Give it your best "good faith" effort, and if you still have trouble, post your code for more specific assistance.
