testing ... one .. two .. three

[masquerade]

Don't mind me.
I needed a place to practice hyperlinking.

I've tried doing this in another thread, but bombed big TIME.
Could it be that this particular message board works differently than others. Or could it be that my directions from long ago were copied incorrectly.

Well, I've witnessed some of you being able to link a story or whatever, and be able to type in your own words for the link. You know, instead of the url.

Test 1

Damn it!
It didn't work.

Are there any of you out there that can help?

What I've done in the past is copy and past the url address.

Eric Massa: Democrats ousted me over health care - Tim Grieve - POLITICO.com

before the url addy I would put the following: <a href="

after the url addy I would put the following: "target=new> type MY own thing here </a>

 

[masquerade]

Is there anyone on these boards who is willing to help me out with hyperlinking?

Please?
Pretty please with sugar on top?

I'm not sure what you mean but I wonder what's wrong with the way it works already?

As in, the link you provided above already works, so what's the difference/purpose?

There's nothing wrong with the way the links work already. My question is for aesthetic reasons only. Say for instance I want to throw a pic into my post somewhere. Instead of it looking horrible with the url link, I could type my own words in. My post would look better and flow easier.

An anchor is a term used to define a hyperlink destination inside a document. The HTML anchor element <a>, is used to define both hyperlinks and anchors. ...

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

there is a WYSIWYG window with most browsers. what are you using? what Operating system?

the windows have letters and symbols/buttons one symbol/button looks like a ball and chain or an anchor. when you use it it does the coding for you.


you are using html code. forums run on software that uses code a little differently.

the < > that you are used to using are for html pages.

you would normally put: a href=http://wwww.namehere.com between the < >

then you'd have text: link here...

then you'd close off your < > with </a>

< >text</>
==============

some forum software use [ ] brackets in place of < >

they also use url= in place of a href=

some use < > with url= and some use [ ] with url=

===============


here you use [ ] with url= with text in between sets of brackets [ ]text here[/ ]

here of course the sets of brackets have url= and /url inside of the sets of brackets [ ] text here [/ ]

==================


example:

[ url=http://beatmyheadagainstthewalldotcom ]beat the heat [/ url]


here I got rid of the spaces in the above example, and I put a period [ . ] in place of 'dot' beat the heat...

I know this is a bit much, but I do not know what you know or don't know. So I tried covering a few bases with explanations. hope it helps.

if not, eat shit and die.

You can post a pict in a post without a url link showing. What is it you are saying? Do you want a pict to be in place of text or text in place of a pict?

when posting a pict, there is no url link showing, ugly or not

 

[xotoxi]

1. Copy the URL that you want onto the clipboard.
2. Type the text that you want.
3. Highlight that text.
4. Click the icon that looks like the earth with a chain link in front of it.
5. Paste the URL.
6. Rinse.
7. Repeat.

I only have time to say thank you to all of you for your posts. I look forward to getting back here where I can read again in detail your posts and practice until I get it right! Argh!

Happy Friday night all!

I don't hyperlink well. I pass out from too much oxygen. I can, however, do a good job of straining the white cells out of your blood...

This is what I'm trying to say. Saint Patrick's Day is just around the corner and wouldn't it be lovely to post a picture of a shamrock for everyone to see. Or maybe some of you might like check out a lovely green corset.
