mmmMMmmm I love hotlinks. Almost as much as whiskey fruitcakes.
This is a Hotlinks for Dummies (read clueless newbies
like Chris once was) primer.
The best way to learn how to do HTML hotlinks or any other fancy
tricks for that matter, is to click on View in the menu, then
click on page source. This will bring up a new browser page,
independent from the previous one, which will show you all the dirty
underwear of the fancy posts. This way, you can learn the neat tricks
that make sophisticated posts look so... chic.
You don't need a Ph.D or a membership card to a Kool HTML
Postings club. It's quite very simple.
Simply click on the above menu choices mentioned, observe the neat
little tags inserted before each special effect you noticed on the
original page, and pay special attention to the closing tags which
are just like the opening tag, but have a "/" (slash) added,
(these are a very important social etiquette, otherwise you will be
berated and scolded as if you were the scourge of this forum), and
then go merrily practicing your new found power of expression! (This
thread is a perfect place to practice.)
If trying to guess what each tag stands for proves to be too
difficult, try this
link, which has a very good primer for basic HTML.
Happy HTML'ing!
