Sorry if its been asked a zillion times before but how do you all put those links in.

Say for example if I wanted to show you an article from the Times Online HERE how would I do it.

See the note to the side of the box -->

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by and . So if you type www.mumsnet.com, the link will display as www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at this page", would display "Look at this page".

Instructions are right next to the message box under the list of smileys - we're not that clever really
