I thought maybe some of you who don't know how to do this could benefit from this post so here goes.
I usually open two instances of the browser. One to post and the other to copy and paste links.

start with < a href="

Keep in mind, in order for me to show this without actually creating a link I had to put a space between the < and the letter "a". Don't leave a space! There IS a space between the "a" and the "href"

Then highlight and copy the url from the address bar in the other browser window that you want to link to.

Paste it after the quotation marks then add another quotation mark at the end followed by one of these >

< a href="http://gofetchabone">
Again, no space between < and the letter "a".

After that put a word or name in that you want to have a person click on such as .......This.........or..........Link..........etc followed by < / a > with NO spaces.

So you have < a href="http://gofetchabone">Bone< / a >

Again, the Only space is between the "a" and the "href" No spaces anywhere else UNLESS you want to put them in the name to click on. Instead of Bone you could out Fetch A Bone. Spaces will work there and as many words as you want can be used.
