Don't know how to do HTML links? Or are you too lazy to do them yourself?
If you're using a Mozilla-based web-browser (eg. FireFox), here's a handy extension that will enable you to automatically linkify a piece of text.

Just copy the URL to link to from the location-bar of the web-browser, select the piece of text in the edit-box you want to link to, and right-click on it. From the 'htmlXtra' menu, go to the 'clipboard' submenu, and from there, choose 'Make selection URL'. Your selected text now becomes linkified with the contents of the clipboard. This also works on forums that use bbcode - just use the bbcodeXtra submenu instead. As well as links, it does the usual things such as Bold and Italic as well. Also, it can even turn the URL stored in the clip-board into an inline-image.

Wow
That's actually more complicated than using an anchor!

For those of you not using Firefox or wanting to expand your horizons a bit, here's how to do an anchor tag in html:

<A HREF="Web address goes here">Text you want to link goes here</a>

You open the anchor tag with a left angle bracket and an A, announce it's an html reference with HREF, tell the link were to go between the quotes, end the tag with the right angle bracket. The tag goes around the text you want to be a link, and closes with the brackets and /A

OK, I'm not sure that's actually less complicated. But html really is piss-easy - I taught my daughter at eleven.

^ i actually agree
the tip just encourages lazyness, and once you remember the lineof code, is waaaay simpler.
