Ok kids, time for an HTML lesson - lightseeker wants to know how to post a link that shows words *about* the link instead of the link itself, so when you click on the words it takes you to the link.

We're gonna use the HTML anchor tag, here's an example...

<a href="http://www.your_link_goes_here.com" target="_blank">Your Words Go Here</a>

The target="_blank" property causes the link to open in a new window - that way your reader won't lose their place here in da fora.

Computers are finicky but will behave it you instruct them exactly. The easiest way to try this out it to cut n paste the above code to a new message then insert you link and words.

Feel free to append your own example here or in the Play Room.

Cheers,
Saint Linkletter
