Note Even though ScreenTips simply display the text that the user is clicking, they are
still useful because they indicate that the text is clickable.

it will render as an ordinary symbol.

Redirecting to Another URL
After you have managed your own Web site for a while, you might decide you want to
restructure its organization by renaming some pages, placing pages in folders, or hosting
your site at a different location with a different URL. All that is fine, but what about the
people who bookmarked the original page? They’ll be faced with an unfriendly Page Not
Found message if you remove the old content entirely, and they won’t have any way of
finding the page in its new location.
To help your past visitors find the new page, you can leave the old page in place and
replace its text with a hyperlink that tells them where the new page is located. You
already know how to create a hyperlink—that’s simple. But you can take it one step
further and set up the old page to actually redirect to the new page. In other words,
you can make the old page automatically display the new page.
