I tried looking up the other threads and phew! What the hell are they talking about. I'm wondering if there is a way to do it easily.” 2:32:57 PM 3/29/02 “you just put, [a href="http://www.thebackpacker.com"] Click Here [/a] replace all the [ and the ] with those greater-than or less-than signs (i couldn't write them here, or you wouldn't be able to see them). copy the URL you want the link to be to, and replace http://www.thebackpacker.com with that. whatever you want the readers to see and click on, put in place of Click Here. did that make any sense at all? :-)” 2:44:04 PM 3/29/02 “huh?” 2:46:54 PM 3/29/02 “whoops! there should only be one space between "a" and "href," and one space after "Here."” 2:47:21 PM 3/29/02 2:52:07 PM 3/29/02 “” 2:53:17 PM 3/29/02 “I shall give it a go.
