I read in the FAQ how to make a link, and I can make one the way it explained, like this: ahttp://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Infopage&image=Riverside-1244424545.jpg
but, most people make a word that is a link, for instance in a Comment, they might link to Wikipedia. Can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks!

Oh! So much for knowing how to make a link, I see the one I posted does not work right! I need help, if someone would be so kind as to teach me these things, I'd surly appreciate it! : )

Linking to an individual image

any questions = ask .. either here or there


you can practice in any comment you've made (edit)




PS .. it appears that you pasted your entire link into the "label" section .. if you point your mouse at your link, you will see the ASDF.com in the status bar of your browser

Oh, what a GREAT help! I visited the link you posted and I made my little cheat sheet including the ASCII bunny! He's SO cute!
(\ /)

c('')('')

Look at that, I whipped him right out!

Now, let me practice the techniques:

My Gallery Link
Bold
Italic
Underline

Oh, and by the way, when I point my mouse at my link, it doesn't show me the ASDF.com. Must be a Mac thing again! : ) It's ok though, I have got this all figured out thanks to you Keifer! I really appreciate your time and effort in showing me how to participate in Caedes with better communication skills!

(*tips hat*)

Alright, just as I was feeling like a smarty pants, I have a problem. I have a "> showing up in my italic, underlined link. (Yes, I was trying to be really fancy). I've troubleshot it and can't figure it out. Here's the link

and here's my coding using @ instead of a and capitals for the i and u:

I posted a picture of a ">male Muscovy earlier tonight.

Oh! It reads capitals and @'s!

I'll try again, this time I inserted a space in the middle of http:

I posted a picture of a "><I><U><@ href="ht tp://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Infopage&image=Riverside-1244424545.jpg">male Muscovy</@></I></U> earlier tonight.

Ok, I found it, I know, I know. . . .I could drive a sane man nuts! My apologies, this is like learning Greek the first go around! (No offense to anyone that has already learned Greek)

I think you're doing extremely well myself hon.... it took me 6 months or more I bet, just ask poor Keith.

assuming martie did, indeed, figure it out ... it looks like you wanted to italic and underline your label .. and you followed the rules for modifying words

(ie: <*><*>WORDS</*></*>)



so you tried to put those opening brackets in front of the "link" code

ie: <*><*><@ href=".......



instead of using the alternate end-link code

ie: .. "><I><B><U>HERE</I></B></U></A>


which just goes at the end, and not in front of and behind

capish?


ie: .. <@ href="<------ADDRESS----->"><I><B><U>HERE</I></B></U></A>

I have been trying to learn this and have sent 18 PMs to myself so far and nothing works right. Do you have a slow learners primer.
Thanks

the simplest thing is to copy the relevant parts to a text file .. I've never bothered to memorize the linking code

looking at your 'sig' .. you are using an uppercase "A" ... *caedes has only activated the lowercase letters .. so, therefore, I can use uppercase to "teach" the code .. because it allows it to be seen .. it's possible that you copied one of those examples, thinking it would work

<@ href="

">HERE</@>

copy these to a text file and make the changes (@=a) .. then just copy them from your text file when you need them

or memorize them .. my cerebral ram is in short supply


<@ href="http://marcaribe.caedes.net">HERE</@>

*change the @ = a

Thanks for your help...it must get boring explaining the same thing over and over again.

He's used to it.. lol.. anyway he has it recorded so he just presses a button and off he goes..

lol @ Jackie ! Seriously, that's what I did, copied a working link to a text file & now I just copy & paste it whenever I need it, I just change the URL as needed.


Like this link..... one of my favorites.

sad linkie

Nice song.. this one is sad too bells

Yeah but beautiful.

(*clears throat*)

this is a help thread .. peeps don't need no help feeling sad


you girls go outside and play now .. keith's stories are on tv

I think Geri was going to write an FAQ "staying on topic" but realized that would be a waste of time...

;-)

LOL.. actually if you notice there is blue linkies on there, just another way of showing what you can link.. ;) Well it's a good excuse don't you think??

Exactamundo !!!! Ha !!!! So I WAS on topic !!!!!


And I want everybody to pay attention too, because I can SO stay on topic & now I can prove it.

Oh make yourself useful and go solve a cryptic clue...
