    @1 – Well, you messed that one up.

    Seriously, though, what’s the point of even saying first post? It’s annoying, useless, and pointless, and most of the time it doesn’t work. If you’re going to comment on it at least make the post an original comment and remark on the fact later. It makes it less intrusive and far less exasperating.

    …Sorry. I just wish people wouldn’t waste blog space on that.

    26- Rainbowstar, you’re doing something wrong. How are you making the link?
    :idea:

    OK, so let’s go through this step by step. Let’s take the {a href part first. There needs to be a space between “a” and “href.”
    OK, so: {a href= There’s no space before or after the equals sign.
    {a href=”https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1532″ Make sure you close the quotes and use the correct format for the URL.
    {a href=”https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1532″ title= There’s a space between the close quotes and the word “title.” This will probably make an extra space or two, due to the HTML of the blog, but it’s just one space.
    {a href=”https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1532″ title=”Off With Their Heads! The Origins And Culture of HPBs, Part 5″ OK, so the “title” part is the trickiest. After “title=,” you have to write (in the quotes!) what you want it to say when you put your cursor over the link and hold it for a few seconds. You know that yellow box that comes up? That’s what “title” does.
    {a href=”https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1532″ title=”Off With Their Heads! The Origins And Culture of HPBs, Part 5″} Put a lessthan sign after the end quote.
    {a href=”https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1532″ title=”Off With Their Heads! The Origins And Culture of HPBs, Part 5″}words or smileys you want to be linkified{/a}

    So, your link to the Holiday Party would be:

    Whoops, it didn’t work. Gnomes?

    1. Look at the first HTML thing below the comment box, the one which says [a href=”” title=””], but with the greater than/less than signs.

    2. In the space between the first pair of quotes, write the web page URL. I’ll use this page.

    3. In the space between the second pair of quotes, write the “alt text”. The alt text is what is says when the cursor is pointing to the link, but not clicking it. Mine will say, “This is this page.”

    4. After the greater than sign, write what you want the link to say. For mine, it’ll read, “Click here for the example.”

    5. Write [/a] after that, again with the greater than/less than signs..

    6. Voila! It should turn out something like this: Click here for the example.

    The code looks like this:
    [a href=”https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1552″ title=”This is this page.”]Click here for the example.[/a]

    Writing a URL by itself automatically creates a link, as it did above. If you need any help, please ask.

    <name=”boogabooga” title=”Here’s a llama there’s a llama”>
