Subject: RE: Mudcatters on youtube ????
jose, if you know the URL {website address} for the website you want to hyperlink, then copy it, and click on the "make a line {blue clicky} command that is immediately below this message box. Once you click on that feature, a box will appear that gives you easy to follow rules for the next step {which is "paste the URL, and hit the submit button, and then copy the hyperlink that appears, and finally post it where you want it in your message"}. If you want to name your hyperlink something rather than have the website address itself show {for instance, if you wanted to write "jose's YouTube"} then there is one intermediate step after pasting that URL before you hit "submit".

If you follow these directions, they should work. But don't forget to copy the entire command. The hyperlink command begins with a symbol that isn't brackets like [this but begins with the "less than" symbol and ends with the "more than symbol" {or is it the other way around? I always confuse those two mathmetical symbols}

I hope that last part didn't confuse you or anyone else who is trying to figure out how to make hyperlinks on Mudcat. I added that last part because when I was first trying to post hyperlinks, I would often forget to copy the beginning & ending symbols. Because of that, the hyperlink wouldn't work.

Best wishes,

Azizi
