I enjoy helping people find songs on the internet but I don't know how to insert the e-mail address so that all the person needs to do is click on it, can anyone supply me with this information. Thanks madnut

That one's a difficult process, madnut, so try not to do it until you're absolutely sure what you're doing. You might want to search earlier messages about HTML, and you can "view the source" of this page and see how Max sets up links. The first thing you have to know is that HTML commands are set off by those angle brackets on your period and comma keys on your keyboart, but I will substitute square brackets so the command will be visible to you. Every time you issue a command, be sure to close it later by repeating it with a slash in fron of it, enclosed in those brackets.
In another thread, I posted the URL (address of a Web page) for Cowpie, http://www.roughstock.com/cowpie/. I copied the URL directly from the address bar of my browser so I didn't make any mistakes, and I was sure to include the http://.

To make that a clickable URL, I'd do this:
[a href=http://"www.roughstock.com/cowpie/"] and then some words you want to describe the site, or whatever. Oh, and be sure to enclose the URL in quotes - I don't know if they're needed, but Max our Computer Guru uses them. And then you have to be sure to close off that command with a slash [/a].

And then, it looks like this:
and then some words you want to describe the site, or whatever. Oh, and be sure to enclose the URL in quotes - I don't know if they're needed, but Max our Computer Guru uses them. And then you have to be sure to close off that command with a slash
Now, isn't that special???? Good luck - but be careful. You do NOT want to incur the wrath of Max the Magnificent.
