Something I've been meaning to ask for ages - how to do a link

When I'm emailing or posting here:

I only know how to cut and paste a website link when I want to direct someone somewhere, which often make them really really long. How do I just do a link that says 'here' for example?

Anywhere but Mumsnet, you need to use html. The code is:

Without the *.

That's what URL is, Pickupthismess. That's the www.whateverthesiteis.com

So if you were going to link back to Mumsnet via an email:
