How do I replace a link with a word please??
So for example rather than my full blog title I want to put You can see it here with the word here being the link.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi Sarah
What you need to do is use the button labelled '
URL' above the box where you compose your message. Add the link you want inside the first square brackets, for example like this:
Code: Select all
[url=http://maisiemaycrafts.blogspot.com/]Sarah's blog[/url]
This now creates a clickable link which reads 'Sarah's blog' but which takes you to the actual blog, like this:
Sarah's blog
Remember that usually you'll want to link to a specific post rather than the blog as a whole, so use the link to that post, eg:
Code: Select all
[url=http://maisiemaycrafts.blogspot.com/2011/03/spring-is-in-air.html]Sarah's most recent post[/url]
Hope that helps, but if not, just ask!

You're very welcome
One other thing, which is completely optional, but I usually do it because I think it makes my link clearer within a sentence - you can make the clickable word(s) a different colour, like this:
Code: Select all
[url=http://maisiemaycrafts.blogspot.com/][color=#40BF40]Sarah's blog[/color][/url]
which then looks like this:

(Obviously you can choose different colours - just highlight the text you want to change and then choose a colour from the selection on the right hand side of the box where you compose your post!)
