    Default Hotlinking?

    How the hell do I...
    post a link to the source of a story?
    I see a lot of synopsis of news stories that end with "Click Here" for the rest of the story.
    How do I do that.
    All I've ever done is copy the web address and paste it in the body of my post.
    But how do I make a clickable link that use words other than the web address?

    And also is this considered "Hotlinking"

    Thanks!

      That will take you back to this thread, does that help? Its okay if you are posting a news story and not pics.

      html code [url=http://www.newsgab.com/forum/how-hell-do-i/87141-hotlinking.html#post351854]your words here[url>] remove the > so the code will work.

      Another way to do it is to highlight the text you want to be the link (eg click here) then click on the insert link button (the globe with a link on it).

      Once this appears paste the URL in the pop up box which will be presented to you and click OK
