Answer 1

here is a site for you to learn HTML:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/getting_started/

also you do not mention where you are posting this link

is it a HTML page - in which case add this to your code (add your link url here = your link):
CLICK HERE
this will open a link in a new page

CLICK HERE
this will open your link in the same page

if it is into a forum post:
[url=add your link url here]CLICK HERE[/url]

you also do not specify if the slideshow you have is already on the net ready to be linked - it would have to be if you use any of the above link codes

i do hope this helps you

An alternative, I use, is to fetch yourself a small (9px by 9px) icon, usually the conventional right-pointing red triangle. Then, in your css (like, in the or in an external css) place a class for that like
a.clickme { background: url("clickme.png") no-repeat left center;
line-height: 12px; margin-right: 1em; padding: 2px 0 2px 10px; }
(where "clickme.png" identifies the icon you fetched...)
...then on the clickme you want to identify, you'd place:
Click here
(where "something.ext" identifies the slide show...or maybe you'd use "something.html" where "something.html" is an entire web page formatted to contain the slide show...)

Answer 3

Okay, both of the previous answers were not that great. With the first one, all her tags are in CAPS, which is a bad idea. Best practice is to make all HTML tags lowercase. Alyssa said she is really good at HTML and gave her email address, but I would advise you not to use her as your source for HTML assistance.

The second answer was much better, but he forgot the closing anchor tag.

So, you should make your link like this:

Click Here!

A great resource for HTML is W3 Schools. Check out http://www.w3schools.com for tutorials and quick reference info.
