How do you..

[hippyhoppy]

post a link to another web site. I see it all the time but don't know how to do it...

[CheekyChops]

Read the tutorial - a link is provided at the bottom of the page - it will tell you all you need to know, including how to post links, use bold, italics, and underline. Or see here!

Thanks - I'll try that later when I can think of something to post.

I don't get the instructions that are given

Do you have to type all the URL and then place the link you want to show after it?

Thanks

[CheekyChops]

For a link, you type:
< A HREF = "URL" > YOUR WORD < / A >

Don't leave spaces, I've only done that so it works. You don't have to type the URL, you can open the site you want to link to in another window and then copy it from your browser and paste it in.

You can use any words you like for the link, such as HERE or CLICK HERE or anything!

Hope this makes sense :-)

CheekyChops has told you how to post a link which will say something like 'click here' but, as I read your question, you might be satisfied with the (much easier) alternative of simply providing a link which shows the actual web address. That's incredibly easy:

Method 1: Simply type the full URL of the website, including the 'http' bit. e.g. this line won't appear as a link:
www.google.com
but this one will:
http://www.google.com

Method 2 is easier. It works best if you've got two tabs open (or two separate browser windows). Have the Answerbank page open in one tab (or window). Use the other tab to visit the page you want to link to. Right click on the URL in the address bar. Select 'copy'. Now return to the Answerbank page and place the cursor where you want the link to go. Right-click and select 'paste'. (That's how I do it. I can't be bothered to use the HTML code in the AB tutorial).
