Adding Hyperlinks

[RCP]

When I post a URL somewhere where there is no editor options, how can I post it as a hyperlink?
I found this, (http://www.ironspider.ca/format_text/hyperlinks.htm) but I am clueless when it comes to code, i suppose I could figure it out though!

I looked for an extension for Chrome with no luck. Where I really want it is for when I post a link in something like a FB or blog comment, and don't want a big old ugly URL, I want it to "look pretty"! :rolleyes3:

See how I did it in Dave's countertop post? (http://www.facebook.com/remodelcrazy), I would have preferred, to see the complete process, check out Remodel Crazy. (http://www.remodelcrazy.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8141&highlight=concrete+counter+tops)

Thanks

Where are you trying to post the hyperlink? Unless there's an HTML option, you can't post one.

/\ where in the hyperlink is that guy from?

Go to TinyURL and get one from them.

Depending on where you are trying to post a link the site may or may not allow it. Many sites allow links even if there is no advanced editor included. Here is how you do it.

Here is a run down of HTML linking code.

<a href="url">Link text</a>

In your example it would be this:
<a href="http://www.remodelcrazy.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8141&highlight=concrete+counter+tops">to see the complete process, check out Remodel Crazy</a>

The text that displays (anchor text) is wrapped in the opening and closing <a></a> tag. The url that it links to is inside the opening a tag.
<a href="url">
