Feel free to practice in this thread. You can use the "make a link" utility at the bottom of every message box, but it's not hard to do it yourself and eventually it's much quicker. Here are my standard instructions:
<a href="http://www.mudcat.org">Click here</a>
If you're posting links at Mudcat, the quotation marks are optional. I prefer not to use them, because they complicate the task of making links. Simple is better, I think. Fewer misteaks.
I find it's best to open a new browser window [CTRL-N] and navigate your way to the site you want to link to. Highlight and copy [CTRL-C] the URL (address) of the site, and then go back to your Mudcat message and paste [CTRL-V] the URL into your link. Be sure to include the http:// in that URL. The quotation marks are standard procedure, but most links work just fine without quotation marks.
