Using templates for multiple pages in meteor

I was working on a web app prior to finding meteor and to have multiple pages I had things like this (I'm using bootstrap):

<a href="../signUp.html" class="btn btn-lg btn-default">signup</a>

In order to have a button for a user to sign up. I'm trying to convert this to a template in order to work with the meteor framework. I made a template that had all the code from my signUp.html file and changed that line of code to look like this:

<a href={{> signUp}} class="btn btn-lg btn-default">signup</a>

and this gave me the following error:

INCLUSION template tag is not allowed in an HTML attribute

I changed it again to be like this:

<a {{> signUp}} class="btn btn-lg btn-default">signup</a>

and I got this error:

Reactive HTML attributes must either have a constant name or consist of a single {{helper}} providing a dictionary of names and values. A template tag of type INCLUSION is not allowed here.

Any help would be appreciated.

What you really need is a router. Check out iron router You can add it using 

meteor add iron:router

Then, set up the routes for your signup page. (Assuming that you have named the template as "signUp" )

Router.route('/signup', function () {
   this.render('signUp');
});

And finally use the link as :

<a href="/signup" class="btn btn-lg btn-default">signup</a>
