HAHA, Irma, you DID IT! High five!

Fooled you, Carol! I cut and pasted your tag. My tag would have been: //www.google.com/search?q=Encephalartos+latifrons&source=lnms etc i.e., very, very long. Is that you you put and the system turns it into 2 words?

I have an Apple, if that matters.

Oh, uh, gee. Like, read the line below? It has a purpose?

That was Pea that helped - and you got it - that's great!

I really don't read!!! Thank you, Pea and Carol.

Finally, 5 days later, now I understand how to do the "Link". I didn't realize I had to create a label in the "Text to display" box and had left it blank. So bad at figuring out written directions or prompts. New fangled technology! Thankful I can escape by gardening.

Irma and all, this is the way that works best for me:

1. Type all of the text I want to type - my entire post, including my signature at bottom. Links are the very last thing I do.

2. Using the mouse, highlight the words that I want to link.

3. Click on "Link". The words that I just highlighted will appear in both boxes. Delete the words from the lower box.

4. In a separate tab, open the page that I am going to link. Highlight and copy the web address.

5. Go back to the "Link" box, paste that address in the lower box, and click on "Insert". Then click "Submit" to finish my post.

Maybe this is helpful, maybe not. :)

I go qbout the other way. Copy the web address first then type my post then click the link paste in the web addy and then type the words in the box.

That works, too. With that method, you must be very careful to make sure your cursor is where you want the link - or else it could end up somewhere you don't.

So much for the "good old days" ;-)

<a href="http(s)...html">link name<a/>

Tom, I remember that, too. I had that HTML language bookmarked for various text enhancements.

A friend of mine always calls HTML a HoT MeaL. :)
