Inserting URL Links

#1

Post by CHL/LEO »

Once again, what is the proper procedure for inserting URL links into a body of text? For example, if I wanted to reduce an extremely long URL link down to "click here" how would I do that?

Like this:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.blahblah.com/blahblah]Click here[/url]
You can also underline the entire thing so that it stands out.

Please use the Preview feature to confirm the hyperlink. It's easy to mess up.

Thanks - maybe they'll make this a Sticky under this topic so that it will be at the top.
