Hi Ana
I missed an earilier question I think. You did not say which blogging
service you are using. Here are a couple examples from my blogspot
stuff.
When I start to edit, everything is in Compose mode and I can just
paste links in as is copied out of the address bar, alt d in Explorer.
Here are a couple examples
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/the-lay-scientist/2010/sep/24/1
The provenance of this link:
http://robstickablog.blogspot.com/
If I decide I want to get fancy and for instance put in something more
descriptive to be seen by blog readers, I can go to the EDIT HTML link.
This is what first of the two links above look like with Blogger
handling the HTML production

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/the-lay-scientist/2010/sep/24/1</a>
<a href="http://robstickablog.blogspot.com/">Rob Sticka Blog/</a>
Here is the link for the entry where I put in the items above which
should now reflect the example for the second one.

I usually deal in Compose mode but your mileage may vary.
Hoep this helps

Subject: [VICUG-L] Hyperlink Help
Hi All,
I'm still working on inserting hyperlinks into my blog posts, and while
I seem to have the code syntax right, I'm obviously missing some
important minor thing because most of my links are broken, so I'm
posting here for ideas about what I may be doing wrong.
The code I'm using is
<a href="URL">text</a>
I get the URL's by visiting the sites and copying to the clipboard.
sometimes I paste between the quotes directly into the post. sometimes
I copy to a Word doc first. I don't notice one method being more likely
to succeed or fail than the other. I make sure there are no spaces or
hard returns between the URL and the quotes. the URL's are long, so I
don't know if that makes a difference.
I don't know what else to try. In all cases, I was able to enter on the
link, but I got an error message saying the page was not found. In many
cases, The link worked just fine after I erased the URL between the
quotes and pasted it in again.
any tips or caveats that may help. I'm using Blogger if that matters.
thanks.
Ciao
