Link Text just means i had extra capacity but I can only save this page once so I can't correct it for some reason

The "link text" just means that there were two extra HREF lines of code that weren't used in the last Links page. But, they are not going to take you anywhere because they have no URLs added to make them work.

What is a URL?

IF you have designed your page this way when you first bought your computer you should have at  near the top something that has the url of whatever page online you are looking at: Here is a random URL from one of my articles for example:

https://intuitivefred888.blogspot.com/2021/03/why-cant-cyber-technology-be-protected.html 

Though in machine language whatever page you are viewing would be something else this is what is called a URL which is a worldwide locator for your specific page you are visiting.

There should be no other exact URL like this on earth for any other site or page for example, unless a country or a person in that other country decides to copy my page exactly to that country for some reason. However, even then there should be an abbreviation of the country name because only the U.S. since they started this technology doesn't have a country abbreviation attached to their URLs.

For example, this is the French Wikipedia main page URL:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Accueil_principal

After the HTTPS:// you see a little fr. which means France or French internet as different from U.S. Internet. All countries now have some kind of abbreviation for their countries except the U.S. where it all started now.

For example, if someone copied the above page of mine to France it would look like:

https://fr.intuitivefred888.blogspot.com/2021/03/why-cant-cyber-technology-be-protected.html 

when I did this this is what I got:

Also, when you are traveling the Internet look for the S in HTTPS because this means that the site you have visited is a Secure site which might mean you won't get viruses through this webpage or site. However, that isn't 100% true either for a variety of reasons. But, it might help you feel more secure if you see the S after HTTP on a URL.
