How does the web page know where to link my resume.html file? It is currently linked to "Experience" section of the web page, as it should be, but i am trying to understand how does it know where to link it to.
Thank you.

Courses Plus Student 542 Pointsits not really "linked" to anything. when you set up a web server you tell it what folder to look in for html files. this is your "root" folder. it will automatically pull anything with certain titles such as index.html, index.htm, index.php, etc. so when you add /resume.html to the end of the address bar in your browser you are telling the web server to display the file called resume.html. by default it will only look in your root folder. however, if you create another folder in your root folder called pages and put your resume.html in that folder, then to access it you would have to go to whatever your home page is then tell it to go into the pages folder to look for the resume.html file. like this http://yourhomepage.com/pages/resume.html
you dont have to do any "linking" unless you are using css stylesheets, javascript scripts, frameworks such as bootstrap. then those links will be in the <head> section of your html document.
