I was afraid of that

I will try doing it. Thanks for the info

It's built into the software.

I had no idea. DERP!

Thank you so much!

I had no clue.

But how would one do it on another site which does not provide a link button?

Try creating a link in DU and see what the HTML code looks like. Then change DU's square brackets [] to angle brackets <> and it should work, or come close.

Thank you!

Love this group.

Thank you again

Give me just a couple of minutes and I'll give you step by step instructions.

1. Copy the URL of the page you are going to link to.

2. Click "Start a discussion"

3. Give your thread a title

4. In the Message text portion type whatever words you want to type

5. Now, highlight whatever word you want to link to the URL. In this case let's use the word, whatever

6. After you highlight the word whatever click the box marked link at the top of the message text. A small box will pop up and ask you to enter the URL of the website you want to link to.

7.Enter the URL in the space provided and the word whatever will link to that URL when you click on it.

I hope this helps.

Thank you! You should leave it as a post. Then others that are Internet ignorant can find it!

I can on my laptop with cut and paste, but on my mobile device I have to type everything in...which isn't happening...fat fingers and all.

Maybe someone else can help you there. Sorry
