Putting Links in a Post or Comment
Another change. If you want to insert a link, move the cursor to where you want it, and click on the icon in the edit bar that looks like a few links of chain. This prompts a popup screen where you enter the link and hit OK. n.b.: the prompt already includes "http:" so if you paste in the whole thing and wind up with two prefixes, you've got a broken link. The chain icon will look broken if your link isn't right.
Once you have the link entered correctly and hit enter, it will then prompt you to enter some text. So like in Gavia's story about Richeze from Tuttobiciweb, in this second prompt she'd want to type "Tuttobiciweb," making that the hypertext that appears in print.
The same editorial tools are available in comments as well. Chances are, your editing mode is defaulting to what's known as "WYSIWYG," what you see is what you get. This is more like editing in word. But if you're used to editing in HTML mode, click on the "Switch to HTML editor" button.

Si
I switched mine back to html, actually, cuz it’s faster to type the taggies.
Then cut/paste in the leetle boxes. Do html tags work in the comments? I hope so, cuz I hate switching between typey-type and mousey-mouse all the time. Gav = lazy.
Ah, voila, looks like they do…

Not the place, but i get the black screen. Name change issue?
If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to have time to do it again?

Nope
I haven’t moved the stuff over yet… You’re basically calling up an empty section, that’s all.

Another way to do it
If you just type some text , highlight it ,then click the link-icon,paste the adress, OK – it then turns the highlighted text into the link:
I can’t make it work your way, I don’t get a prompt to enter the text. I am however a complete moron when it comes to this kind of stuff so that could explain it …...........

Must Add
I LOVE that we get new windows for links versus losing the PC site and the current window going to the link.
Yet another plus to thsi upgrade!

OK, what's a Rec?
I’m afraid to click on it just to find out.

it's a means of demonstrating how cool you are
by the number of recs you collect :)
No, it’s just a way of giving a comment extra attention. (Or, in the case of diaries/fanposts, promotion to the “Recommended FanPosts” box on the right).

Got it
Now if I can just find a cool picture, although I don’t think anyone can top Ruthann’s. I’m jealous.
