This is not a hard computer questions, so please at least read this before you give up on me.

OK, so I need to make a link that has different text than where it leads to. Like, if the link went to www.google.com, it would say Google, and you could click on the word Google and it would lead you to www.google.com.

I figured out how to do this on HTML for MySpace or something, but I need it in BBCode, like for forums, like Proboards. I've seen it done before.

Any help would be appreciated. =]

Like html?

Or linking?
Well what I usually do for that
is I go on myspace into a blog,
and I type the word, example 'Google'
or paste a picture then highlight it
and link it to a site,
and then check the box in the corner to see the html and i copy and paste that where I want it.

Did i answer this correctly?

okay well i went on an italy trip and when we were in the vatican we were in some church and i said god dammit...is that like a one way ticket to hell? i usually dont beleive some sins wouldnt get me into heaven or if theres even a heaven at all but cursing in the vatican? im also afraid if i tell a preist theyll like ounch me in the face
please tell me if im deff. going to hell or how bad that really is or anythiung

I dont think your going to hell.
But saying that in a church wasnt a good idea,
since your using God's name in vain.
Sins are sins, and if you are religious like I, you ask for forgiveness, because no matter how big or little something wrong you did is its still a sin you know? But I'm Christian, I dont know if you have a religion.
If you tell a preist he will not punch you,
you can ask for forgivenss for using his name in vain though.
I mean to non-religious people saying stuff like that, is no big deal. But it is to religoius people who believe in God, very wrong, because its like going to some place where budah is worshiped and saying "Budah damnit" i know that sounds silly. But people can be offended because that is their God.
You know?

Last night I found out that my close friend slept over my boyfriends house. He didn't tell me that she was going to even though I was with him all day. That really anonyed me because he doesn't even want me to come to his dad house (it's a 30 minute drive from here & he says he hates it there) The girl is one of my close friends, but I know her well and she tends to almost act like they're going out by doing little things like touching his arm and getting really close to him (and she has a boyfriend) I can flat out say I trust him but I don't trust her especially because she lets other guys do stuff to her and lies to her boyfriend all the time. Yes, their good friends but why was she sleeping over his house in the first place? It just seems odd. Do I have the right to be mad? I want to get back at him so bad for not telling me .. idk what to do ):

Yes you have the right to be mad,
but first ask him why she stayed over night.
And if he cant understand why your angry, tell him that he had ALL day to tell you she was staying over, and you were upset that it wasnt you and stuff. I'd be pretty pissed off too.

ok this is my first year of high school an i am really scared cause i dont know how the kids at the school will act some of the kids be picking or teasing the freshman wat shall i do

Only the mean imature older people pick on you.
Freshman year is pretty fun, just do your homework and study for tests, since in highschool they arent constantly reminding you of what you need to remember to do like in middle school. Have a day planner or something to keep track of everything. If you need help or get lost, ask someone. The other grades were freshman once, so they know how it feels. And if they wont help you they are just being insensitive and cocky, but I'm pretty sure they would help. Some people will always be picking on you, but your a freshman and your only a freshman for one year so yeah.
But study for exams and make the most of your year :]

Hey I am going to be a freshman and I just want to know like the basics of like what goes on, how hard the work is, how to make new friends, what to stay away from, etc. lol. Also like how can I make a good impression on the first day of school, and like yeah. Basically anything you can think of. Thanks! :]

Hello!
Oh my word, my freshman year was SO MUCH FUN. Minus a lot of the drama, it was great.
Okay, well the first day is the first impression day, you want to make first impressions that are good on everyone you come in contact with. Because the first day you cant really see who the "clicks" are, or who you should avoid. But if you are good with everyone, you should have no problem. The work is hard, you definitly get a lot more homework then in middle school, and ALWAYS do it, and get it in on time, and if you have missing assignments or projeccts your teeachers wont remind you, so keep a planner of everything you need to do and get it done on time, or it will really affect you in the end.
Oh And to make good impressions, smile be friendly! Be genuine, ask people how they are doing, if they had a good summer, make eye concatct, and when you shake, make sure its a firm hand shake!
The upperclassman, well most of them are nice, some are cocky and think they are alll that, but they know how you feel, they were once in your spot you know? But anyways freshman year goes SO FAST, seriously. And after that the years just go even faster, and you'll be out of highschool in no time, so make the best of your years:]
Enjoy them, and study for exams, dont cram.

well my mom and brother are fighting right now. he just graduated so hes 18 & still trying to figure out what hes doing. well they have been fighting/not talking for about a week now. last night he was in a really bad car accident. hes not hurt or anything but the car is totalled. he has no way to get to work or anything. my mom is really pissed and i just want to do something for my brother to help cheer him up & let him know that I'm here for him. I'm only 14 but we're really close. i have no money & he knows im there for him so i wanna do something special. i need some ideas. please help. this is hard on everyone.

Well if I were your mother, I would get over this argument. Because her son is eventually going to pack up and leave when he can.
Right? And after her son could have died, life is WAY too short to be angry. Remind them both that before something fatal happens. Tell your brother you love him, and that if in any way you can help him somehow, for him to let you know.
Just being there for him is enough.

ok my friend.. is soo amazing... she is absolutely beautiful... infact all the guys say she is the prettiest/ hottest.. out of our school (we have a very big school)... she is 16.. and she is soo freaking awsome at sports she has lettered varsity for both tennis and track and was like number 1 on both.. like got all the track girl awards and went to state 4a both years in track and is just pure amazing.. she also has a 4.0 and im pretty sure she is teh smartest in our class... she also is soo incredably nice, and funny, like she is soo much fun to hang out w/, and soo crazy, but in a good way... like she is real not one of those fake girls... and she treats her boyfriends soo good but they always end up treating her like shit... i dont think she picks bad ones but somehow they never treat her good.... she deserves the best and i dont know what to do... like the theme song to her life would be lucky by britney spears... i just dont understand y guys arent better to her

Oh, thats highschool for you.
And thats what it looks like for a best friend to be watching her absolutely goregous friend get hurt.
Boys in highschool no matter how much they have "grown" up, they will always take forgranted the most amazing people, and not realize how great they were until its too late, you know?
Your friend being so nice and great at everything, she will find someone she deserves, but you can tell her how you feel about the guys who treat her badly, tell her how amazing she is!

Boys are dumb sometimes, they seriously dont realize how precious or great a person is until they've lost them, and hopefully all her ex boyfriends who treated her badly remember that.

okayy this guy i know wants to have sex with me. i don't care if we do or not ... but i'm just scared that i would get pregnant. like REALLY scared ... that's my biggest fear.

i'm a virgin & i don't care who i lose it to ... whether it's my husband or just some hot guy ... i'm not in a hurry to lose it but i would definately like to.

this guy is veryy experienced so i'm sure he knows what he's doing with the condom & everything but i don't know ... i think i'd feel safer with a guy i actually loved.

has anyone ever gotten pregnant from a condom breaking when you used it correctly?

Well condoms can break very easily,
and there are tons of people in the world who have gotten pregnant because the condom has broken.
I suggest you dont have sex, and that you should care who its with, because if you just carelessly sleep around, you could be getting STDs, and I'm sure if you get married you would want to save it for your husband, but I dont know. The best way to not get pregnant is to not do it.

hey everyone.. ok well i went in my friend's myspace... and the first time i got in her account she didn't care... but then the 2nd time i did it she got mad at me... && my brother found out because i forgot to sign out.. so yeah && my parents also know... but they think i asked her but i didn't and now she's mad at me and i called her and apologized like a million times... && she said that she can't trust me anymore and she doensn't want me calling her anymore or talk 2 me ever again so what should i do?

I guess leave her alone,
you did invade her privacy going on to her account.
Sometimes it just takes a while for things to settle down, dont call her anymore, because seeing its just making her more angry. Leave her alone and wait it out, you've already apologized and did all you can do, now if she still wants to be friends with you its up to hernow.

people say im really immatur and annoying.. && thats why people at my school don't like nme.. and i think another reason is becasue i act ghetto.. b/c i have black friends... so yeah i dunno what to do anymore!!! so how should i mature and not be annoying its really hard not to be!!!

Well dont annoy people.
Simple as that, if they tell you to stop doing something thats frustrating them, just stop.
Dont keep persisiting, dont make cracks about stupid jokes, and I guess, act the way you normaly do around them.

On myspace a band sent me a friend request and I accepted it. I clicked onto their profile and I loved their music! They arn't a popular band, they are just starting out so I clicked onto their pictures to see what they looked like. One of the members of the band, his name is Linzy, caught my eye. The second I saw his picture I fell in love. He's not even that cute, but he's all I can think about. On the page it listed all of their screen names so I IMed Linzy and I talked to him for an hour. I told him I loved him and I wrote him a poem and I told him hes sexy and I want to be his girlfriend, and first off these things just slipped out, I started typing them and I couldn't stop myself. And second of all I don't even know him and I'm randomly obsessed. I asked him for his personal myspace and I sent him a friend request. I sent him a total of like 10 messages and comments in 3 hours. I commented all of his pictures saying "your so hot and sexy." This guy is 5 years older then me and he smokes weed, and I don't know how I can love him but I just do. I found out he has a girlfriend, and I got soooooo jealous. I don't even know him and every single person that left him a comment on myspace, I got sooo jealous for no reason. I can't stop leaving him comments saying I love him. I asked him if he liked me, and he said well I never even met you. When Linzy is not online I talk to all of the other people in his band and I ask them about Linzy. What his interests are, what he does for fun and stuff. They seriously must think I'm a freak. I dream about him and think about him all the time, and the most I've seen of him is a freakin PICTURE. I tried deleting his screen name and deleted his myspace and the band's so I could get over him, but then 10 seconds later I added his screen name again because I missed him. I don't know why I'm so obsessed when 1. I don't know him, 2. He's not cute, 3. He's alot older then me. I'm soooooo obsessed I tell all my friends about him and stuff. And him and his band have a concert that's coming right near where I live and I already bought tickets. I don't know why I'm so obssessed with him, when the other people in his band are way cuter. He's the uglyest one. And I don't like him because of his personality, because hes got the most boring personality in the world and he's soooo shy. And I promised myself I would never like any one who smokes, and he smokes weed daily and here I am OBSESSED with him. He's really nothing special. What can I do to get rid of these feelings about him. I don't know him and I'm never going to meet him, so do you think the reason I'm so obsessed and like him so much is a warning or some kind of thing God's telling me that he's the one for me. Maybe God's trying to hint to me that he's Mr. Right??? I've never felt like this about a guy, and I haven't even met this dude!! And I know he's not a 50 year old stalker because my friend went to his concert. What do I do?!??!?! I'm making myself sooo anxious and I have to go online every 5 mins to check if he sent me a comment on myspacee. Help!!!!

Okay first of all,
I dont know why you are obsessed.
But I dont think its God pointing that hes mr.right.
Its not love, its lust and obsession, and I know you know that. If you've never met him you really have no connection to him, and if you think he is so ugly and has a bad personality
why are you obsessing over him?
Truth be told, guys HATE it when girls obsess over them, and talk to their friends, and constantly talk to them, and thats what your doing, and I know you want to stop.
But you need to have control of yourself, just delete him off myspace, and aim, dont talk to him, whenever you want to remind yourself why in the heck do you want to talk to him?
He smokes weed, your not physically interested in him, and you've never met him in rl, and he has a girlfriend. You know?

Okay there's this guy I like on Myspace and we talked a lot at school. I invited him to come to this jam thing that there is every Friday. Is this going overboard? I figure when he gets the message he will e-mail me back. Will this show that I like him? There are a lot of other kids there. If not, ho can I get him to know I like him with out actually coming out and doing just that? What should I wear if he does plan on going? I play guitar and sing if that helps. I've never had this big of a crush on a buy b4.I never worried about how I looked before until I started crushing on this guy. Have any of u had similar situations? I really need help. I would ask a friend, but I don't want anyone to know I like him. Please help. I really need it

Aww hey !
I dont think your going overboard at all!
Its a pretty cool thing, to invite him to that, then there are other people there too, in case it doesnt go as planned. Just flirt!
When your talking to him, touch him or something, like on the shoulder or something, dont get all dressed up, be casual, especaially if this occasion at your school is casual. Dont worry about how you look anywyas, just put on the makeup you put on and dress the way you usually dress, dont try to fool him.
THe main thing, have fun and be yourself!

im starting cooking. what are some nice, basic dishes that will help me?

Green Bean Casarolle oops I spelled that wrong.
But its a simple dish, and it tastes realllly good. But always mix it in the end dont just sprinkle onion rings on the top.

i dont know how to talk to people,i mean my friends- yeah but a new person comes and im with people that i dont really know i just stay shy,how cna i open up? any tips? how can i sound like i have a nice personality? anything will help!!

Oh!
hii!
Well I used to be super shy in like sixth grade,
but ever since I stopped its hard for me to even try to be shy.
Well when you meet someone new, dont let their be awkward silence!! Ask them how they are doing?! Where they are from, what they like to do in their spare time, when their birthday is, what kinds of music they are into? You know all that jazz, and that should open up new conversation windows!

well school is about less than a month away. I'm going to be a freshman but I'm really nervous because of the grades being mixed together. I was just wondering from expierenced, is high school very different from middle school? and could someone just tell me like somethings i might want to know before I go? thankss.

Highschool is very different,
but its great.
Trust me, its more laid back then middle school,
the teachers arent constantly telling you whats right and wrong, and you get the option of being friends with a variety of new people, I love it.
Especially if you like making new friends, its a great oppertunity. Get involved in as many afterschool activitys as you can and make the best of that year, because after freshman year, it goes by SO FAST!
Just everyone says dont piss the upperclassman off aka Juniors and Seniors, mainly seniors, but your new, and they were once in your position, so if you get lost, dont feel bad to ask someone, after the first day or two you'll get the hang of where everything is in no time.
:]

just enjoy your freshman year
and dont worry about it!

does anyone know the average weight chart for asians? is there one? i saw one for i think regular americans but asians have different bodies. if you go by the american chart we're underweight not by disorders. im 5'3. im 120, the perfect weight in american terms. but i am really chubby-ish because my frame is sort of petite. i dont have a negative body image. i just want to know what others weigh.

I'm asian too, but
I grew up in the united states,
so technically I am on the
USA weight chart, not the 'asian'
one. But if you want to know how much
I weigh and stuf haha IM me,

Okay I like this guy and we've been going out and like he really really likes me too and my parents dont like him for some reason and i dont want to break up with him and my friends dont want me to go out with him anymore and want me to break up with him to but I rele dont want to what should I do ?

thanks

- xoxo Vanessa

Well there has to be a reason.
Your parents & Friends probably know something about this guy that you dont.
Try asking your friends and parents for a reason, and if they say "I just dont like him" tell them thats not a reason,tell them thats like being racist, you may not know the preson but you just dont like them because of their skin color. Seriously, tell them they shoudl have a reason, because maybe they do?

ok people i hav a problem.there's this guy i never got the guts to tlk to him,until a few weeks ago. i remember when we were in school he would stare at me allll the time and i didn't like him until the year ended.i started talking to him on i.m. and we were getting to know each other a lil better i remember dat we were havin a great time talkin and than he had to go to sleep so we stopped talking 4 dat night. but i havn't heard from him since than and dat was a week ago. so is he avoiding me or is he just to shy to talk to me again?

I'm not sure at all,
but if he liked you, plan on him talking to you again. But for now,dont worry about him.
Dont stress over it, seriously :)
Because it could be that his computer broke or he's been gone,so dont starting making up things in your head :}

i work with this girl that is leaving for college in about 2 weeks. Shes been working in this store for a year and a half. She doesnt do anything that actually helps the store out because she leaves it for everyone else to.

Im a senior and im staying at my job. Shes telling me and everyone else that after college lets out for the summer next year she is coming back and they are hiring her back and shes going to be gettting a promotion.

Now i really dont think she deserves to come back and get a job right away nor a promotion.

What can i do to make sure this girl does not get her job back? Or should i should let it go?

Honestly let it go,
it would be worse of you to do anything to make sure she doesnt get her job back.
That would be just mean, it may not seem fair, but if you hadnt heard already, life isnt fair =/.
I mean maybe she may not do much, but if shes a good person, thats probably why they are hiring her back, because she is fun to be around, and they like that. You know?
If she didnt do anything at ALL, then they wouldnt be hiring her back, so she must be doing something.
