Hyperlink to the rescue
Hey Roger... am just about to go read your article but thought I'd give you (and anyone else interested) the quick and dirty on putting up a simple hyperlink here on the board

Roger's Newspaper article

< a href="url" >Link text

(darn, it won't show the last bit of code at the end, after you name your link with Link text. Follow that with a < /a > ) You have to close off the link hence the /a is important proceeded by a bracket on either side, no spaces)

Ok... hopefully that will show as an example and not turn into a hyperlink itself. Notice the coding in between the first brackets? Take out the spaces... there are to be no spaces but if I didn't you wouldn't be able to see the coding. Now, where you see the "url", you want to put the full web link, like you have up in your post. Just do what you did there, copy your long link, highlight the word url, and paste your link to replace that word.

Now, where you see Link text... again, take out the spaces I put before and after those words. Replace the two words with whatever you want to call your link. For instances, in the example I did above, I called it Roger's Newspaper article. You can't see the long web link that I put, because I replaced the word url with your long web link. Voila... you now have a clickable link

Just remember to take out those spaces that I put in the example so that you could see the coding behind setting up a hyperlink or clickable link
