How to make a hyperlink.
This is the easiest way ever. I just copy and paste the first link listed, under the word “Code”.

<a href=”http://www.hyperlinkcode.com”>Hyperlink Code</a>

then copy and paste the web address I want hyperlinked, (you know where you click on a highlighted word or phrase and it takes you somewhere?), over their

http://www.hyperlinkcode.com

and then type over where theirs says “hyperlink code” whatever word you want highlighted. Because I am constantly using this on Flickr, I type the phrase “Blogged about”, prior to any of this, then add the word “here” over their “Hyperlink Code” phrase. Many people only use the word “Blogged”.

I now need to finish fixing all links on my photos :/

Talk to me people. I get tired of talking to myself!
