You can always just copy and paste a link but sometimes you want it to sit in the post with a bit of familiar text.
If you click the URL button on the top it inserts
- Code: Select all
[url][/url]
into your post.
To add your link all you have to do is add an = and the link before the closing square bracket. Then you add your description of the link between the ][. You see it's not obvious is it?
For example
- Code: Select all
[url=http://yourlink.co.uk]Look at this it's great.[/url]
VIDEO
To embed a video from YouTube, click the YouTube button. This inserts
- Code: Select all
[YouTube][/YouTube]
into your post.
Then put the link to the video between the tags, eg
- Code: Select all
[YouTube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njoxHjsAyTE[/YouTube]
But you do need to make sure you remove any extra bits of code from the link. Basically this means that if there is an ampersand (&) in the link, remove it and everything after it. For example this will NOT work:
- Code: Select all
[YouTube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njoxHjsAyTE&feature=related[/YouTube]
because you have to remove the
- Code: Select all
&feature=related
