What do attributes provide?  Attributes provide additional information about an element
When are attributes specified?  Attributes are always specified in the start tag
How do you get attributes?  Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value"
What tag defines HTML links?  HTML links are defined with the <a> tag.
Where is an HTML link address specified?  The link address is specified in the href attribute
How should attribute values be enclosed?   Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes.
When is it necessary to use single quotes?  In some rare situations, when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes: name='John "ShotGun" Nelson'
