Is there an easy way to create links from one site to another that can be performed by less than competent computer operaters.

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.

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? :-)

Where? I mean, on which site/part of the screen do I do this?
The address bar?

Oh HELL! I know how TO make a link but I don't know how to NOT make one. You can see how if you go to VIEW, PAGE SOURCE, and look at the posts.

you didn't replace the [ and the ] with greater-than or less-than signs (facing the appropriate direction)...i don't know another word for them!

I'll keep trying here:

In the message space type one of these: <

Then type: a href="http://_____"

Then type one of these: >

Then type: Your text

Then type: <
Then: /a
Then: >

Bunyip, you're address is a little different from the one in the OZ thread. It seems that you need a / after user, before 1bunyip
