How can I post a hot link?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Glassman Discussion Group : One Thread

I'd like to put hot links into questions or answers to questions, but when I try they seem to reference some non-existant page on glassman.de. Is there any way to do this?

Answers

It's actually pretty straightforward: just make sure to include the entire URL in the tag, including the "http://". For example, if I wanted to put in a link to the Glassman Homepage, I might type into my message:

here's a link to Glassman Homepage

That's all there is to it. Note that hrefs like this look a little funny in the email notifications that are frequently generated by other members interested in a posting, so you probably want to use them sparingly to maintain readability.
