Renaming Links

Hell Raiser · Jul 24, 2005

Ok guys,I looked through the posts,and didn't see anything that answered my question...................Here it goes.
I know it's a smiple thing,but I can't figure it out
How do you rename a link?
Example instead of saying click on "http://www.msn.com/news " I'd rename it to say "click here".I would be greatful for any comments that would help me.Thanks.

in HTML or BB code?

for HTML its

Code:

<a href="URL" TEXT TO DISPLAY >

if i remember right

BB code is [*URL=www.google.com] text to display [/url] (no asterix) like so google it!

That would be the following:

Code:

<a href="http://www.yoursitehere.com/filepath/">URL Description</a>

However, be more descriptive than just "Click here". That's not very informative nor is it enticing for a user to click on a hyperlink when it just says that.

Hope that helped!

You want to rename a link on the GTP forums? Then why is this in the Web Design forum? :odd:

Anyway, BBcode for links is:

Code:

[U[b][b][/b][/b]RL=www.blahblahblah.com]Click Me![/URL]

Oops. Shannon's answer is correct. I assumed when I posted my reply that you were trying to set up a hyperlink for a website and not for a forum. I didn't read that first post correctly, I guess. :dunce:
