Everyone on here,apart from me,is able to do fantastic links to pictures with blue intro sentences and I would really like to know how you do it!
Feel totally ashamed that I can't.I know there are instructions to my right but I can never make them work and don't understand how you do...

(In Blue)"Wow-Here's one I caught ealier right here...".

Please help!

Right-who know what Google site I can use to search for silly pictures? Just tried to find a silly face on Google and got a stupid adolescent porn site!!

I did that below-fool proof method.

Write yourself a message somewhere near the computer that says.

\link{pasted website address
\message}

This is weird, I did my first successful link yesterday. Then tried to show off and cocked it up

sorry i was being stupid... it doesn't have to be a picture... it can be any address!!!

so if you wanted to do a link to www.mumsnet.com you would type the following:

\link{ www.mumsnet.com\ this is mumsnet!}

but you have to leave out the gaps... try it!

MrsSpoon · 07/10/2005 21:21

I always open another window and go to the page I want to link to, copy the address from that window and paste it into my MN message/link.

katymac · 07/10/2005 21:15

The address of the picture is the website address

ie htp://www.mumsnet.com

It's on the line (labelled address) towards the top of yur screen

When it goes to a photo - it is because the person has posted their photos on the web somewhere

Did that help?

I told you I was thick-what's confusing me is the address of the picture!

OP posts:

\link{ THE ADDRESS OF THE PICTURE \ WHAT YOU WANT TO WRITE}
