Some of you have wanted to know how to put TEXT in links instead of long URLs. The problem with trying to show you how to do this is that the code must be put into BRACKETS[ ]. As soon as I put in brackets, the Format Code thinks I am putting in code and they disappear. So, for this illustration I will be using these { } as a symbol for BRACKETS[ ].
OK, this is a two-step process. 1st you have to put the URL inside of the first set of brackets. In order for the code to know what you are doing you have to tell it how to handle the URL. In this case, we will be setting a link to a YouTube video (I am assuming that you know how to copy the YouTube URL and Paste it in) . Here is how you set-up the first half of the brackets:
{url=â€http://www.youtube.comâ€}
The “=†tells the code that the next statement is the target URL. The quotation marks “ “ tell the code that the enclosed statement is the URL. Without both quotation marks, the code is incomplete and will not work properly.
2nd you have to place the TEXT you wish the viewer to see. Here is how the completed statement should look:
{url=â€http://www.youtube.comâ€}YouTube Video Link{/url}
What the viewer will see is: <u>YouTube Video Link</u>
Have fun, drive fast & safe, be kewl,
