YES!You're going to type this, without the spaces before or after the <> characters.< a href="http://whateverthewebsiteis.com" >view our catalog< /a>Is that what you're needing? It'll work in your email signature or your newsletter, depending on the format of those things and the software you're using. That's the code, anyway. Just remove the spaces!
