Handy Blogging Info: How To Put A Link Into Your Comment!

Posted in HTML and Blogging

-->Enter my CONTEST here<--

A Very Good Friend of mine, who happens to blog here at HSB1 and designs websites here at HSB1 gave my girls and me some very useful information for linking in a comment, I had seen others' comments and wondered how it was done, so after Amber told Myrtle, she showed me how!

Use the following code (without the break in it) to create a link:

Start with the arrow that is above the comma on your keyboard (<)
then, a href=
next, 'http://www.link.com'
then, >NameOfLink
another(<)
then, /a
end with the arrow above the period on your keyboard (>)

    One thing I sometimes forget to do is to put the single quotes around the link, so be aware of that when you are checking to see if it is done correctly.
    Another thing you will want to know is that here, on HSB, the link will not show up as a link in the Preview. You will have to make sure you did it right, then check the comment you posted. It's no problem to fix if the blog author allows you to delete comments.

   I had a hard time figuring out how to post this, because you can't post the (<) (>) arrows around words! It won't read them! So, if you still don't understand, e-mail me, and I will e-mail you the code!

It will look a lot like this one, except for the arrows, instead of parentheses:

(a href='http://www.SoulRestEducationalSupplies.com')SoulRestES(/a)

It will look like this: SoulRestES and will show it is a link.

Thanks for this great information! It's a little complicated, but you explained it wonderfully. I can hardly wait to start putting links in my comments. Wait, I think I'll try it on this one. Hmmm, what should I link to? Maybe TheAcappellaCompany
Did that work?
