the easiest way to link a link (link a link link *music just popped in my head. LOL) is to simply copy and paste an URL here.

NT's software will automatically use the VBB/UBB codes to enclose the link.

(in case you are wondering what those codes are(look like): )

the more fancier way to link a link (and I am always often asked to share this. LOL) such as this:

click here to check out my link a link...

or to embed a photo to create puzzles (LOL) such as this:

(click on the picture of the kitty)

you can even do it with just smileys. (but I'll let you guys practice those on your own)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

first thing to do is to click on the "Insert Link" icon



it will give you the insert link window (a tiny window)



As a rule to avoid human error, I would hit backspace and get rid of the highlighted "http://"

now insert the link you want to share and hit OK.

you now will see this on your pre-post:



see that highlighted URL? That's where you can have all the fun.

The first URL that's inside the [] is already coded.

If you leave the whole thing along, it'll just show the URL, like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MLBfwblps8

BUT, if you backspace that highlighted part and put whatever you want in there. l usually put "click here"



it'll look like this:

click here

and if you want to get fancy or embed a secret code like I do sometimes. You can place a photo in there. (but you have to make sure you use your [IMG] Tags that you just learned about using photos. LOL)

or use smileys, like this:

once again, your personal page is the best place to practice these and you can always delete them later
