Mar. 31, 2008 - This is only a test...
I have some html things that are just bugging me...
For instance...I can't figure out how to make a link on this blog. I mean, oh sure, I can type or copy http://www.blahblahblah etc...but I WANT name the link so that a reader can click the word and GO to my link.
It should JUST be an " < a href > " right??? (without the spaces, of course)
Well I can't make it work...see
http://www.starfall.com/">Starfall
Now I'm posting this because I'm suspecting that the preview screen isn't working...maybe it is...but I'm posting anyway...know that this is not a completed post...if you have some insight...PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong...but I'm probably going to yank this back out once I have it figured out.
EDITED TO SAY...It DID work...it did...it did!!! Oh JOY! Oh Rapture! Hazaar!!! Thank you to all who unknowingly allowed me to "view source" and copy and past to figure this thing out.

EDITED AGAIN...No it didn't...OH DESPAIR!!! The link doesn't work...and I'm out of time...GRRRRRRRR...well I'll be back...
ME EDITING AGAIN...So saith the wise MOMatHWTK ... use thee magic button. Alas and alack...I have no magic button in my Edit Screen. An email is on the wire to Ye Old Technical Support in hopes they can save this damsel!
Okay, nuff of that...maybe my template is messed up because I really don't have that button...and I never have...I've searched high and low for a button like that here on HSB because I've used that button on several message boards. You'd think, though, that I could at least TYPE it in...but I'm using the same code that you printed for me (thank you very much for that, I truely thought I was losing my mind...glad to know I'm not.) If I use a double quote (") after the "a href=" _fcksavedurl=""" _fcksavedurl=""" _fcksavedurl=""" _fcksavedurl=""" then the link doesn't show AND it doesn't work...but if I use a single quote...then the link shows correctly (only in the final posting, the preview screen just lists the code) but clicking on it doesn't work at all. Thanks MOMatHWTK!!!
Any further insight would be greatly appreciated. And when I hear back from technical support, I'll post again.
EDITING, ONCE AGAIN: I was mistaken...it is ABSOLUTELY there...it is just dimmed UNLESS I highlight the word...I'll bet I've got it now...let's see...

EDITING...OH FOR PITY SAKE...they are pretty...but they don't go anywhere...NII-IICE!
EDITING...WAITING for someone to tell me they do...cuz starfall still does NOT from here...oh wait..."edit link"...pfffft there is nothing in the link portion...okay...does it work now???
Still doesn't work here...pffffft. Well I guess I'll never EVER get to link to star fall anyway. Does it work for anyone else?
See ya around...

To create a link, in the edit window select the icon that looks like a globe with a paperclip over it. In the first section type the words you want to appear for your link, in the second section type the link itself. It should be the full link. So for a link to my website I'd type "HWTK" in the first box and "http://www.hwtk.net" in the second. Is that not working for you? Sometimes when I try to edit or create a post the icon/tool bar doesn't show up. Are you seeing a tool bar?
The code for the above example would look like this:
<a href="http://www.hwtk.net">HWTK</a>

I poked your link. =P
And that phrase has me giggling like a 10-yr old. Never heard it phrased quite like that!
Nope.
It leads to:

Now if you could just get rid of your address in front of it. =/
