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...

To insert a link to a web site, type
description - where url is the .... address of the site, and description is the text you want to appear in your message. So to link to bbc news you could type
have a look at this

From the box on the right hand side of your add a message box.

Follow that word for word a few times, practice here maybe and you'll soon have it sorted!

you have to type

\link{this is the address of the picture\this is the blue writing}

for example

\link{ www.linusm.com/images/prison1.jpg \ Linus}

only without the gaps Linus
