Hey boo, I've realized that you haven't linked the links that you copy and paste here. It saves me a little bit of time if I can click the links in your blogposts instead of highlight it, copy, paste it and hit enter everytime I want to use it. The following is a quick example of two ways you can add an active link. You need to do this for your blog but obviously when you write e-mails or send links using IM the links are instantly made click-able and active.
1. Easy way
Select your text that you want to be made into a link, then click on the 'Link' button in the edit bar. The button is between text color and alignment and looks like two links in a chain. A pop-up item will come up asking you to enterl the URL, then you can paste the link you want. There should only be one 'http://' in the link otherwise it will not work. The easiest way to make sure it works is to preview what you wrote and click on the link to open in a new tab.
2. Techie way
Did you notice the 'edit html' button next to the compose button? You can make a link using step 1 then click on 'edit html' to look at how the code looks like. Feel like a techie yet? The code will look like something below, but with <> brackets instead, and will be displayed on the site like the link below.
(a href="http://www.linkgoeshere.com/")Text goes here(/a)
I couldn't find a way to make the text above easier to copy and paste without making it into a real link but you can use the above line by copying it and replacing it with <> style brackets . The real code on your site does not use () style brackets. If this does make sense ignore the techie way.
