Hi Mr Traveling Chemist :)


Ok, this post is dedicated to the traveling chemist, and I'm really honoured and thrilled to have someone that I added from Blogs of Note actually commenting on my blog. This is the first time, seriously.

I prefer to explain things with the help of some graphics, just makes things easier for the person I am explaining things to. So I will attempt to answer his question here.

TC,

Your question was "how you manage to include an embedded link to my blog's WEB address. When I copy a link, it simply pastes in as the complete address: http://travelingchemist.blogspot.com/ and not as the name "Traveling Chemist" as you have done in your posting."

1. To do this, just type the name of the link, whatever you want it to be e.g. Traveling Chemist

2. Next, copy the link that you want e.g. http://travelingchemist.blogspot.com/

3. Next, use your mouse to highlight whatever you had typed in Step #1

4. Then click once on the button shown in the picture below:



5. A window like this will pop up:



6. Just paste the link you have copied, click "Ok" and you're done!

Optional Steps - If you want to make it easier for the blog reader to continue on reading your blog, and not leave your blog when they click on an external link on your posting, you may want to take these extra 4 steps. It can become quite troublesome if you have a lot of links on one post, and the reader would have to click "Back" after going to every link.

7. Now, click on the "Edit Html" tab (it's next to the "Compose" tab)

8. Look for the link that you have pasted that is together with the text you wanted to name it:



9. Next to the second " (closing quotation mark), type in a space (blank), followed by this (indicated in GREEN):

emist.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Traveling Chemist

10. Just click back the "Compose" tab, and you're done!


Let me know if you need further explanation. Happy experimenting!
