Hello mrsd,
You asked about knowing the hyperlink destination before selecting it:

I would only make one tiny suggestion. Using hyperlinks conceals the website location you are
recommending. I myself prefer seeing that real link addy before clicking on them. It is a safety thing
for me.
I know it would be "WORK" to put the real links under each title. But perhaps more people would
feel comfortable seeing those as well?

I have added some information on previewing the hyperlink, near the start of my references post:

If you would like to see where the link is taking you, before selecting it, place the mouse cursor over the hyperlink; you should then be able to see the URL of the link. In Internet Explorer 6, it is shown in the bar immediately above the Start button, on the bottom left of the window.

By viewing the hyperlink that way, you can see the true link URL.
By the way, it is possible to trick someone with a fake link. Try this one:
Here is the link to Rose's web site:
http://roseannster.googlepages.com/home
No, actually, it isn't. Here is the real one:
http://roseannster.googlepages.com/home
Nasty trick!
This is possible because links are added separately in the editor for this forum.
If in doubt, check the URL using the method that I have described.
