//Questions and Answers//

Question: Do we have to memorize all those tags?
Answer: No, but you need to be able to find them quickly.

Question: What's a "base name"?
Answer: Consider the relative link
  Look at this <a href="cool-page.html">cool page</a>!
The browser must interpet where it is
  If you don't include the base name, the browser assumes that "cool-page.html" is in the same directory on the same server.
  If you do include the base name, the browser assumes that "cool-page.html" is in the location specificed by the base name.
