HTML hyperlink text problems

I know this is going to sound stupid but I'm just getting started in HTML and have a question. I'm trying to create a hyperlink that states "Visit the Marion Technical College Web site to learn more about interactive media." The part that is supposed to be the hyperlink is "Marion Technical College." Everything works, but the problem is that my hyperlink starts at "Visit" and runs to the end of "College." I need it to just be Marion Technical College. Here is the line I put in:

<h6>Visit the <a href="http://www.mtc.edu"> Marion Technical College</a> Web site to learn more about interactive media.</h6>

It works on here, but does not show like that when I open the file in Edge or Chrome. No browser shows the hyperlink correctly, but this site does.

You forgot the closing > bracket on the image that's before that line. If you insert it, it's displayed correctly:

  </body>
</html>

P.S.: You also had one <hr too much in the hr tag further up. I also removed that in this snippet. Plus you don't seem to close the <pre> tag anywhere...
