Have searched but can't find a thread about this, if there is one then I apologise for the duplication.

I am soooooo jealous of you lovely MNers that can post links. I haven't got a Scooby how to do it.

Please can someone post and show me how???

Many thanks

Links 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

I have tried too, flumpy nad can never get it right, even if i follow humphery's directions, it never turns out

type a backslash then the word link then a curly bracket { insert the email adress, so say in this case www.mumsnet.com then type another \ then whatever you want the link to say, so in this case 'mumsnet' then close it all off with a }

so typed out will look like \link{ www.mumsnet.com\mumsnet} (I had to put a space in before the www so you could see it written out)

saltire · 08/01/2007 10:36

I give up. I'm just not cut out for links

Flumpybumpy · 08/01/2007 10:37

Maybe we should find some exciting websites to link to just to make the thread more interesting
