UBB.threads Forums General Interest Computer Help & Idea Exchange Forum Renaming hyperlinks

Ok, I'm finshed . How the heck can I rename a hyperlink so it isn't a long, drawn out address?

Thanks

When you post a message, you should see a URL button above the message box. After you click on it, type in the link in the URL box and a description in the title box. This will display the description as a link but then take you to the link when it's clicked on. For example:

GDC.com

By the way, there is also a way to consolidate a huge URL like this one:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address...le&state=KY&zipcode=

into a smaller one like this one:

http://tinyurl.com/7eul3

Simply goto http://www.tinyurl.com and follow the directions (they are extremely simple).

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the links are of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center.

Here's the HTML code piece that you enter in your post window

I was trying to clean up a blog I created and your advise Aaron got me diggin into the HTML format a bit more. I finally figured it out only to see Fitzer beat me to it .

Thanks
