(Remove spaces in the URLs)

You must prefix it with http: //. www doesn't work, and may actually *break* websites that don't use www. You can't define your own link text, it always appears like this:

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

You mean where it has your own words on the clickable part?

Use this code:
<a href="URL HERE">What you want to appear here</a>

If that doesn't show up when I submit- I'll edit.

If you talking about the "Link [Mouse Over to See Full Location]" or whatever.. you just insert a URL in your answer.. and it automatically appears like that.

You just type or copy/paste the website you want. It creates a link automatically, like this:


www.mugglenet.com
... Okay, that USUALLY works. Just paste in the website if you're referring to it in an answer. All there is to it.


They don't show up as clickable links on your advice column. But you can create clickable links in your about me using this code:


<a href="www.mugglenet.com">Mugglenet</a>
.. but that code won't work in answers.


If that wasn't what you meant, ask me to my inbox. :)
