To do a link, copy and paste the url of the page you are trying to show. If you want to make it a hyperlink (in the form of text), like this, use the format:
<a href="the url here"> the text you want it to look like</a>.

To post pictures~
<img src="the url of the picture">
To find the url, you may need to right click the picture and go to properties.
Since pictures in this form can sometimes crash peoples' computers, it's sometimems considered etiquitte to only post them in link form.

Text~
For italics, do <i>text</i>. For bold, do <b>text</b>. For strike text, do <s>text</s>.

If you are trying to go to www.thewebsiteyouaretryingtogoto.com, www.thewebsiteyouaretryingtogoto.com is the url of the website. You just select the url, right click it, and click "copy" on the menu that comes up. Then you right click where you are trying to put it and click "paste" on the menu menu that comes up.

To find the URL of a picture, right click it and go to properties. Then copy and paste the url in the properties box.


******☠Ŗąνĕŋ☠****** (DeathIsAMelody) ya, i know now, thanks anyway though.

Whitney 'Thompson' Jenkins (whitney210) | 1 comments I'm using an iPad and I was wondering if there was a way to make a title and/or author a "link" in a comment. So that the title is bold and when you click it takes you to that book's Goodreads page. Does that make any sense?
