But be aware that once you get it right, ie. the link appears in the post, you won't be able to (easily) edit it - normally you woudn't want to but if you wanted to change the link you can't, you'd have to delete it and do it over again.


As before, view a page (on the web) you wish to insert the link to, highlight the URL from the address panel then press both <ctrl> and <c> keys together (this copies the URL)

Start typing your post and when you get to the place you want to insert the link, type the whole line -
ie. that in brackets; and add URL by pressing both <ctrl> and <v> keys together (this pastes the URL), then the text you want; then that in brackets

eg. similar to For an interesting article [ link=http://www.barbel.co.uk/site/articles/quiver.htm ] read this [ /link ]

But you DON'T need the spaces within the [] and [] brackets - IF I type here without the spaces it will automatically convert the code and the image will appear, which is what you want to achieve but in this post you wouldn't be able to see what I typed ">


The same example below is done that way

URLs :

Unfortunately a URL may not work even though you may see it on the very page you are viewing (yes, it's confusing) due to technical thing like frames being used on the page - test that your URL is valid by pressing both <ctrl> and <v> keys (this pastes the URL) into the address bar and pressing <return> or <enter>. If this works the all is OK, if not then you will have to right-click within the body of the page you are viewing and select "properties" from which you can copy, <ctrl> and <c>, the URL listed.
