    Just looking for some help as I know nothing about html. I use a forum that I would like to place a link to my site, you cannot hyperlink a word you are using so I would need to write it in html. A few people do this so I presume this is what they are doing.

    So how would I write the following in html using the bold words as the link?

    To find a good place to start read the anti anxiety diet

    The link would be http://www.anxietynomore.co.uk/food_and_anxiety.html

    Thanks for any help

    Regards Paul

    You cannot hyperlink a word? Meaning, you can't [url (equalsign) http://nameoflink.com]words you want to appear[/url]" ?

    Note: I put spaces and "(equalsign)" to make the text appear.


    A good place to start read the anti anxiety diet.

    Like that??

    I totally understand... see, this forum will take what I write and make the code, so I can't write url=http... so I wrote it as url (equalsign) http...

    Take what you wrote and replace the " (equalsign) " with an equal sign = and DON'T put any spaces...

    Also, you need to follow the rule for html about tags. We're using the tag. In the beginning we start wi... any quotes " I typo'd there, use NO quotes.
