I am an old man, and what that means is that I don't have to be a computer expert, like those younger ones who grew up with computers and learned all about them in school. (We had no computers in 1900!)
Sooooooooooo, that makes it copa-setic for me to ask any and all questions I like!
Will someone tell me how to insert a linked page in text. I know how to copy/paste a web site already . I want to know how to link it by entering "here" or some other descriptive word. I see this done all the time especially by Jacob in his posts.

If you want a numbered list, use ol instead of ul.

Orange
Banana
code, blockquote, em, and strong ... all follow this <em> pattern</em> ... like pattern; em for emphasis.
Make sure not to leave spaces between < > and the commands.

So if above is the formula for referencing this page, then how do you get it to show up as simply "example" from the above?
Either everyone else knows this like the back of their hand, or they are like me and are dancing around it:-)
No one else has jumped in?
So how do you compress all that code to just the one word you want to use for the link? In your example, you used the word
"example".

I copied your work verbatim. I will post and see what we get!
Google "HTML tutorial" to learn more about hypertext markup language.
Here is a link to a lesson on how to do links.
P.S., It can't hurt to know how to set up a Web site. You may want to start an Internet-based business after you retire early to generate passive or residual income.

found this thing--trying it out. Not sure I really need to know how to do this!
*I suspected there might be some way real easy to do it--
You can practice this on your own computer. Just type the codes in a text editor like Notepad (on the PC) and save the result as a file with .htm or .html extension. (example: test.htm)
If you click on this file it will open in your webbrowser and you'll see the result.
I guess most of us have created webpages before. Don't worry, it's not as difficult as it looks and you only need a handful of codes for this forum.
@HSpencer - Nah, this [coding] is about as easy as it can get---no way around it.
Tinyurl is useful for reducing a really long url into a short, but humanly hard to read, url. You still need the html codes for the tinyurl's to work though. As long as the url is copied&pasted correctly, there's no need to use tinyurl.
