How can I change the name of a link to another site...avoiding having to put in the full url if I wanted to direct someone to this site for instance..so I could just type..'click here' and it would take them directly to a site or web page from the site

I have tried cutting and pasting the name after changing it from its properties via favourites...but no joy..

aLSO TRIED CHAGING THE NAME AFTER I PASTED IT TO A PAGE ON HERE...THAT DIDNT WORK EITHER.

Ooops...sorry..blinking caps lock key!

Dependant upon your answer, if forthcoming, there may be a link between you and the 'official' help which I had not noticed before... Have you been teased out of hiding? Has the guard slipped and the head popped above the parapit?

We are always watching...and waiting.

This is written in this way, with opening and closing 'tags' (

The simple address for the image... ( non-tagged you have to click on it for viewing.. ) http://www.diynot.com/img/diy1.gif

----------------------------------------

If I wish to point to Diynot web site, but ask the reader to click on a word or two or more ... Using www.diynot.com as the address or URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the web site.
Giving you this CLICK HERE

I would write it like this.. as you see here and now.
[url=www.diynot.com]CLICK HERE[/url]

This would work too, simply ...
www.diynot.com

Now, as an example, you get this....
BBCode
By typing, copying and pasting or even using a magic trowel, this....
