Hyperlinks in the text

When you create a post and want to embed a hyperlink to another web page you first type out the text you want to be highlighted. After you highlight the text you want to be a link then you click the symbol at the top of the edit window that looks like a chain link.

This is a link to Larry's BLOG

I first selected the words Larry's BLOG with the cursor anchoring before Larry's and swiping until the entire phrase was highlighted and clicked on the icon of the link at the top. A window will pop up asking for the address of the web page (or other valid URL) that you wish to show. Fill in the fully qualified URL. For example -- http://larryvancefamily.blogspot.com. And then click on the OK button.

And viola' -- you have a hyperlink embedded in your post.

If you click on the tab at the top of the page labeled Edit HTML you will see the HTML code that makes the hyperlink. It looks like:

This is a link to < a href="http://larryvancefamily.blogspot.com/"> Larry's BLOG < /a>

Except for the spaces between the < and the a (had to put the space to keep the editor from making the link.
