See-even managed to balls that up and add it on twice.

I can do them so I'm certain you can too!

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

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 actually did another thread with this title but no message! LOL

Um. ok my example didn't work to well. But hoepfully between our responses you will get the drift!

I know-my mouse is uber sensitive.

I'm still confused.

well try it!

just type exactly what we told you!

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

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

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 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.

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!

Right here goes!

\link{http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/one of my trusted sites!}

one of my trusted sites!

WOOPEE!!!

I DID IT! I DID IT! Cheers everyone-having another go!

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

I did that below-fool proof method.

Write yourself a message somewhere near the computer that says.

\link{pasted website address
\message}
