How do I post a link?

Question

Everyone seems to have these pretty little blue links and mine are a long, drawn out version of the address box.

How do I post a link?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Three ways to post hyperlinks:

1. Click on the globe with the little green arrow on the toolbar above the box where you answer your question. Then copy and paste the URL into the window that appears and press enter. Type in your description (what you want your hyperlink to say) where it says link text.
2. Press Ctrl + L to bring up the same box to paste your URL in. Follow the remaining steps above.
3. If you are familiar with Hyper Text Markup Language (H.T.M.L) then you can use the anchor tag to create a hyperlink. If you know what this means - fine. If not, then don't worry about it. If you do know how to do this then just remember not to use all caps for your anchor tags because the text editor will delete your text as it will think that you are shouting at it.

Answer 2

Click where it says hyperlink to the left of the qiotation marks and the paste the URL in the window that appears.
