Angela, you should just be able to insert link (its the little blue chain link) and then you write what you want it to say... Does that make sense??

Default Re: Naming a Link in your post

Abbie,

1st step is to copy the link you want to name

2nd step is to create a new thread or new post

3rd step is to type what you want the link to be called (ex. Abbie's Planning Thread)

4th step is to highlight the words you named it (Abbie's Planning Thread)

5th Step is to press the little world icon with the paper clip looking thing on the bottom, it is to the right of the bullet point insert, left margin and then right margin, then it is next!

6th Step is to paste (use CTRL+V) the link you copied in Step 1 into the URL line.

This 'names' the link

make sense?

LOL Abbie. I'm not that smart. Ann did it for me! After I saw what she did then I created my own. :)
