Subject: RE: New Mudcat Photo Album at Photoloft
for Kendall and others....the tricks for making clickable links are presented in full color, agonizing detail in the permathread at the top of the main page...Joe Offer has even made an index! A clickable link is simply the address of the page (copied and pasted) and inserted into a fairly simple little formula! If YOU can get to a page, YOU can create a link to it in less than 10 seconds....you NEVER NEVER try to type a full address...especially to places with 47 characters like Photoloft albums can be!...but you can easily type the formula!

you type a left bracket ..<
you type the letter a
you type a space
you type href
you type an = sign
..then you paste in the address you have recently copied
then you type a a right bracket >
then you type a word or words to describe the address you just pasted..(it can be just a re-paste of the address, or it can be one word..[this is the part that ends up blue])
then you type a left bracket <
then you type a backslash /
then you type another right bracket >

this gives you a href=the address you pasted

now if I did all that right...if not, look at Joe's example in the permathread....and you too will be doing blue clickies in no time
