It's REAL easy, Caro!

When you start a message, you'll see a lot of icons at the top of the message window. One of these looks like a blue globe with a chain link below it.

To add a hot link, highlight the text you want as the link (left mouse button), then click on the globe/chain and enter the URL of the link.

This sounds a lot more confusing than it really is! LOL! :D :D

Or you can just copy and paste the link directly from the website url like this:

So how did you accomplish it is what I want to know? It doesn't tell me anything about the html part of putting the link in where is says LINK.

Cut and paste. :D :D

OK. Step by step. Say I want to advertise our WWWWWW3 (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=7a7645f3-f799-4187-b39c-4b36745fd37b) event.

1. Open the WWWWWW3 page at geocaching.com. Right click on the URL, it's highlighted in blue, and click on "copy".

2. I want the clickable link to be WWWWWW3 above, so I hold down the left button and highlight WWWWWW3.

3. Left click on the globe/chain in the menu above, then paste (right click) the url into the block.

4. You;re done.

(So easy, even a cave man can do it! LOL!)

(But if you're still confused, obviously we must be talking about different things. It's just TOO easy.)
