Someone wrote and asked me how to write a link, and after looking at the FAQ and not finding I wrote up a quick tutorial, then came here to post it ... and saw that Laurels beat me to it ... Well, here's mine anyway. :)

Creating a clickable LINK

Is a simple as this:

So, I know the URL ...>> http://www.ancientworlds.net/member/Niall/Ladee << ... but I want it to look like this: Ladee's Place, where anyone reading it can click on the link and go directly there. This is what I do:

<a href="http://www.ancientworlds.net/member/Niall/Ladee">Ladee's Place</a>

And, if I want the link to open in another window, I add >> target="blank" << like this:

<a href="http://www.ancientworlds.net/member/Niall/Ladee" target="blank">Ladee's Place</a>

the code that comes before and after are known as "anchors" in HTML. TIP: Spaces are important in HTML inside the codes, themselves (anything inside the < > brackets), and will ignore more than two, otherwise.
