Hi all. I want to link a book title I have in my blog: http://gregwoodard.com/ramblings to the book in my online store. How do I make text such as Reaching for the Invisible God, a clickable link keeping the same words in the post. Is there an extra HTML tag that I need?

Thanks,

Greg

Are you asking how to make a hyperlink that shows a phrase instead of the actual URL?

If so, you do this in the MT entry edit screen by first typing your phrase, highlighting it, then clicking on the URL button about the Entry Body field, then enter the actual url address.

If you want hand code it:

CODE
<a href="http://www.webaddress.xxx">This Text Shows as a Link</a>


Is that what you needed, or something else? smile.gif

That is what I needed. I did not remember to add the actual text that I want to appear.
