How to craft links into a blog

There are several ways to make links. One is to use the button when posting. The one that has a little paperclip icon is hyperlink. Select the text you want linked (whether it be the url of a site or some text) and click it. It will then prompt you for a web address. Enter it there and push ok and the text you had selected will now be a hyperlink.

There is a manual way using HTML code. the code for a hyperlink is "< a href=> and < /a>" without a space between the < and the a. The href stands for hyperlink reference (I assume) and is the web address of the website you want to link. You end the statement with >. After that you can enter any text and that will be the text that is shown for the hyperlink.

so you would type < a href=http://strangenewworlds2009.blogspot.com/> Strange New Worlds Fall09 Blog < /a>

But without a space at between the < and the a and without a space between < and /a>.

This will create this:
Strange New Worlds Fall09 Blog
