How do I use my own words in a hyperlink?

Ah, there's here and there is elsewhere online.

Here, you use PHP.

Code looks like this:


It will come out like this: stuff I saw on CNN

Just copy what I did and change the URL and verbiage as you prefer.

Elsewhere, you use HTML code. It's not that hard. You would type:

<a href="http://www.cnn.com">stuff I saw on CNN</a>

The <a> tags are for the URL, which has to be in parentheses. The parentheses have to be the straight kind, not the curly kind. The second tag, like in most HTML, has to have a / in it.

Wow. That looks easy. Thanks, DD.

Sure glad we have a preview button

Hmmm. I was able to use your code to get my words in the link, but the link does't work. Wonder why?

I use [url][/url]

after clicking on URL from the BBCCode Editor

I type = in the first url box

[url=][/url]

then put in the link

[url =http://www.biography.com/news/happy-days-cast-where-are-they-now][/url] (added a space in here so you can see what it will look like)

then type in the words I want between the url boxes

it's a surprise

drop < > from your link

I'll try it. Thanks.

Yay!!! I has learned a thing!

My bad. I should have either left of the angle brackets, or advised that they were part of the variable field.

for the next level of fun
