(i meant to post about this earlier. it took me a while to figure it out when hipMama switched over to this format.)

to make a clickable link, you have to write it in HTML. now if i can just figure out how to show it without the system thinking it's a link...um...

the HTML tags look like this (except WITHOUT THE EXTRA SPACES - the text should be right up against the brackets):
< a href = "http://www.yourURL.com" > whatever text you want goes here < /a >

for example, in my sig, the code looks like this (again, take out all extra spaces):
< a href = "http://www.tenderfootzine.com" > www.tenderfootzine.com < /a >

you don't have to repeat the URL in the text. anything you put in between the two HTML tags will be the text that becomes clickable. like if you wanted the words "hip Mama" to be the link, you would do this:
< a href = "http://www.hipmama.com" > hip Mama < /a >
when you take the spaces out, it comes out like this (once you hit the "post comment" button, that is):
hip Mama

does that make any sense whatsoever??? will someone who doesn't know HTML tell me if they can do it following those instructions? i fear i'm making this more confusing than it needs to be...
