Practice, practice, practice....

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.

Me, I just need to proofread what I've typed. I'm usually in a hurry so I miss little tiny details!

BH, you have to precede the URL that you posted with the a href stuff, and follow it with the other bits, exactly as Joe posted above. It won't look like a blue clicky until it's been submitted and appears on the thread.

Try again!

I have made a file of the above so I can copy it and use it over and over by erasing the instructions in the middle and copying in the link.

Now .. ot see if it works ..
