Thread Name: Lyr Add: He Voted for Nader (Linda Allen)
Subject: RE: Hear 'He Voted for Nader'
*grimace* Not even close. Let's try it again (and test it this time, fool!)

Easy as pie, Linda. You just type the HTML in. The HTML tag for a "blue clicky" is the

<A ...> tag.

For example, the code Willie-O used to create that link to your album is

<A HREF="http://www.mp3.com/lindaallen">http://www.mp3.com/lindaallen</A>

When I actually type in the above (I had to use special codes to make the less-than and greater-than signs actually appear instead of being HTML), you see:

http://www.mp3.com/lindaallen

One thing to note is that the second appearance of the URL -- the one OUTSIDE the tags -- is ONLY what shows on-screen. The first appearance -- the one in quotes and inside the opening

<A> tag is what tells the browser where to actually GO when the link is clicked. For example,

<A HREF="http://www.mp3.com/lindaallen">Here is Linda's album</A>
Here is Linda's album

goes to exactly the same link as the first one.

I know there's a big discussion about using HTML in thread postings, but I'm not sure where it is. One of the Perma-Threads I think, but I don't know off the top of my head.
