It's in the FAQ, and it will help make sense of the following explanation for using the "Make a link" ("blue clicky") thingie:

Link URL: This is where you paste or type in the URL you want the link to take people to-- the address line of the web page you want people to go see.

Link text (optional*): This is where ou type in whatever it is you want people see as the blue underlined thing to click to go to the page you want them to see. If you don't enter anything here, the URL itself will appear in your post, blue and underlined and functioning as the link.

When you have those entered, you click the "Create Link" button. The next screen that pops up gives you a line of text to copy and paste into your post. And a link is in that screen that atomatically tries your link so you can see if it's a working link before pasting it into your post and submitting your post.

Email link: This section is what you use if what you are sending peope to is not a web page, but an email address.


If you are not able to copy/paste, you won't really be able to use the link-maker. But Joe's instructions in the FAQ will work, and you can type the links without pasting, right in your post.
