Posting links

[THECORBYLOON]

I have tried to post a couple of links but when I have used a word or phrase to replace it and click on it, the address of the section I am posting in has been added and it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Click
here TCL and a link will take you to a website with a set of basic html lessons including linking Just click on the various �primer' headings once you get there and work your way through them. Good luck!

I copied and pasted the details replacing the site address with the address of ma link and when I previewed it, it came up with THECORBYLOON 14/07/2007 all underlined.

I am at a complete loss...

I've seen a couple of those ofer the last few days, though it hasn't affected any of the links I've posted. Sounds like a buglet to tell the techy monks about

Not sure if you've already tried this TCL, but if you scroll down to 'Posting Guidelines' on the following, it gives you some more helpful advice on hyperlinks, etc:

I have used the site mentioned by shaney and the format it produces is exactly the same as what I have written but if I write the tags and the address in Word and and copy & paste that, it doesn't work.

I have tried it now, writing the tags here and then copying & pasting the address and that works.

I'm using the new Windows Vista so I'm not sure if that has anything to do wi it .

Thanks all for yir help!

Incidentally TCL, I'm about to upgrade from Windows XP to Vista - have you found it much more beneficial?

[THECORBYLOON]

I had to change ma laptop so got the Vista wi it. I've not had it for long and I'm still getting used to it. I tend to use the Excel more than anything else but I can't say I've had many grumbles. I had to buy a new router because I'm on AOL which was an unexpected cost.

Thanks for that TCL & good luck.

We have a friend who teaches IT at our local college, so will ask him about the benefits of upgrading to Vista.

Have a lovey day.
