About linking....the nitty-gritty

I just thought I'd post a quick tip on something I learned yesterday - Linking in a post.

So, I was trying to write a comment on someone else's blog, and wanted to refer them to a link....but the only way I knew how to do it was to type out the whole long address (i.e. http://.....) Rather, I wanted to have it linked (i.e. GOOGLE...) So, after a bit of research and critical thinking, here is the answer:

You can do links in comments. All you need to know, is the simple code for "link"

Example:
<a href=http://www.google.com>GOOGLE<a>

This displays it as GOOGLE

You can just copy and paste this code where you need it, replacing the http:// address with the address you want, and the "GOOGLE" with the text you want to appear! TaDa!

Thanks Emily! Now I understand so much better. I was planning on working on that but hadn't gotten around to it yet and I was still feeling a little confused.
