You're welcome, 6funswede. Here's your blue clicky:

http://www.youtube.com/6funswede

I neglected to note that people can post the URLs without the hyperlinks. However, here's how I make hyperlinks on Mudcat:


1. Once I've found the URL {by using Google or some other search engine}, I highlight it {run the mouse over it until it turns blue}

2. I then click on "Copy" {which is found in the Edit feature, right next to "File" on the top left hand side of the screen]

3. Then I click on "Make A Blue Clicky" that is found underneath this box on the right hand side]

4. Instructions will appear. I follow the instructions, which will tell me to paste the URL in the box that appears..."Paste" is found the same "Edit" feature as "Copy".

5. If you want to show the website's address, then hit "submit", and the hyperlink will appear. If you want to go with a word such as "here: or the title of the website you are linking to, or some other words or phrases, write that and then click "submit".

6. I usually check to see if it's working before going to the next step.

7.When you are ready to "Copy" the URL that appears at the end of the instruction steps, make sure that you copy the entire thing and don't miss the signs at the beginning and the end that look like greater and lesser mathmatical signs < and >. If you don't copy them, the hyperlink won't work.

8. Paste the hyperlink whereever you want it in your Mudcat post.

I hope these instructions help.

Best wishes,

Azizi
