CN, It's really easy once you know how :o). There are two basic ways to do it. The easiest way is to simply fill in the two spaces below the box you normally post in. One is called "Optional Link URL" where you put the complete web address of the thing you want to link to and the other is called "Link Title" which is where you put the word or words you wish to show up in your post as a clickable link to that web address. This method will always cause the clickable link to show up at the bottom of your post and you are limited to a single clickable link per post message. The other way is for you to embed some html coding within your message that causes any particular word or words you choose to show up as a clickable link right within your message. With this method you can use multiple clickable links per message, spread throughout your message as you choose. The coding looks like this (except replace [ with < a rel="nofollow"nd ] with >): [a href=URL]link word(s)[/a] Where "URL" is the complete web address and "link word(s)" is the word or words you want to show up as the clickable link to that particular web address. I had to use [ and ] instead of < a rel="nofollow"nd > to make to coding show up. The space between the a and href is important and there should be no other spaces between the first [ and the last ]. Here's a real world example. The word "here" below replaces "link word(s)" and the web address "http://autobodydepot.net/depotdocs.html" replaces "URL" in the above example: PPG OMNI technical data sheets are available [a href=http://autobodydepot.net/depotdocs.html]here[/a] in .pdf format. When [ and ] are replaced with < a rel="nofollow"nd > a reader sees the following: PPG OMNI technical data sheets are available here in .pdf format. Rod
