    Hi, I am facing problems with long urls while posting 'long url's" in my blogs and articles. Most of the links are getting wrapped up and this is creating severe problems for me. I dont know html..anyone can suggest any solution for this... :( ??

    This should work for you:
    [URL="http://www.longurl.com"]short text[/URL]
    HTML:
    forums that accept html instead of BB code:

    <a href="http://www.longurl.com">short text</a>
    HTML:

    it's not problem. google will look your html code . if you are linking like <a href="your url">your title</a> , it's not a problem

    he said he didn't know html

    but most blog editors automatically, convert a link

    http://example.com to the html form
    <a href="http://example.com">dirkadirka</a>

    I believe seojourney and superdude are the same person pitching a url shortening service.
    Seriously, I have seen this many times.
    There is no reason not to use anchor text and just about every blog and forum shortens the url anchor text but keeps the url clickable.
    When I see these kind of things on my own forum, I usually check IP's and most of the time its the same person.

    Yeah whatever. I am not a moderator here, so I can't check but I see these things on my own forum every day.
    Depending on the blog/forum software, there will be logs somewhere showing you what IP people came from.
    In phpbb there will be a little IP link next to each post.
