Making links look nice

Another dummy question.

If I want to link to another site, how do I make the nice blue underlined link say what I want it to and not look like some long http monstrosity like this?:

Use your handy Link Maker button, the one that looks like this:

1. Copy your link's URL.
2. Click the Link Maker button. You'll be asked for the URL first, then the name of the link.

Thus these results: View more Emoticons

I started a thread the other day on Posting Tips but no one 'cept zensui took an interest so ah well. I show a couple other ways to make those nifty links there if you're interested.

Sorry, you aren't allowed to make links nice. It's a conspiracy.

Another bit of advice, don't click the Post button if you're in a subzero environment! Laughing

You might enjoy this brief page of Posting Tips, too.
