HTML - Editing it to make name appear instead of link?

    I am putting client links on a website.

    I can edit the HTML.

    So, what I'd like to do is to replace the actual link on the screen with the client's name.

    For example, if I put Boards on the site, I see boards.ie/

    But, in the HTML editor, I see the text below...

    <a href="http://boards.ie/"&gt;http://boards.ie/</a><br><br>

    What do I have to change in the above to make it appear on the screen as, say, Boards, but act as a link to their site?

    Thanks.
