This user tip came from one of Ken's photo pages:   (hint the words "one of Ken's photo pages" are now an elegant link!!!)

 

Ken,

You taught me a cool trick here:

You wrote:  "PVC works in this case as the wing will be supported from the ceiling of the trailer."

where "wing will be supported" is a LINK to another photo.

That link actually leads you to your photo here:  http://alltrikes.com/elgg/photos/image/3035/wing-tip-support-to-roof

But it is so much more elegant how you turned the text into the link!!!

 

So, folks, how'd he do that?  I had to fiddle a little to figure it out.  But, look below at the "Leave a Comment" box.  See the very faint greyed out chain link and broken chain link symbols?  Ok, follow along with me:

Type some text in the "Leave a Comment" box:   onefish twofish, redfish bluefish

No use your cursor to select/highlight the text portion you want to turn into the link.  Say you select "redfish"

As soon as you do that, the chain link and broken chain link symbols go active (not greyed out).

Click on chain link symbol and a popup comes up where you can enter the long URL (actual link address) to another place on the web.

Done!!   Very Simple, Very nice!

 

Of course, you can hover over all the symbols at the top of the "Leave a Comment" box to see what they are.

See if you can see the link below?  ;)
