Thanks ... Joan

Check out the FAQ link on the bar at the top of the page, and also check out The Dave's Garden FAQ Forum from the forum tab above.

This is from the FAQ link:
How do I add a hyperlink in a post?
It's inadvisable to manually type a hyperlink (aka "URL") because most of us misspell something, or forget a "/" so whenever possible, copying and pasting it is the best option. Gardenwife, one of our long-time members, wrote this step-by-step instruction that will help you become an instant expert at copying and pasting text and links:

Go to the page you want to link to in your post.

Highlight the URL which appears in the address bar of your browser. You can use your mouse to do this, but a great shortcut to this is to hit ALT+D* This highlights the entire URL!

With the URL still highlighted, click EDIT --> COPY. Now the URL has been copied into the windows clipboard

Go to the forum you wish to post the URL in and create your message.

When you're ready to insert the link, make sure the cursor is where you want it to be and click EDIT --> PASTE. This will paste the clipboard contents into your message.

* When I say "press ALT+D", I mean press the ALT key down, then press the D key (while still holding the ALT key down). The action is similar to holding down the shift key and pressing a letter when you want to make the letter uppercase. You don't have to hit the keys simultaniously - you just have to press and hold down the first key, then hit the other one. Many computer shortcuts combine the ALT key and a letter...

Thanks for the info. That wasn't hard. laff.

I'm used to using HTML or Photobucket on other forums.

I like the keyboard shortcuts too and use them all the time. Control C to copy: Control V to paste. Control X to cut and Control Z to undo are my favourites.
