How do you post a link in a forum that does not actually show the url?

For example:

Lets say I wanted to make a link to my project Jail Break. Instead of using the url as a link (like in my signature) I want it to look like this: Jail Break

But I want to make it a link, not just words. How do I do that?

p.s. one more example are the links in zelda123's signature

Code:

[url=http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/]Scratch Forums[/url] produces Scratch Forums

What do I do with that code?

Scratch Forums produces Scratch Forums

That is what happens when I don't put it in a code tag.

This has this all the controls for the forums http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/help.php#bbcode

I still can't figure out where to put the link and where to put the words I want.

Will you make that post again and like write where i should do what?

Code:

[url= http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/344672]JailBreak[/url]

Makes this JailBreak

Ignore this, I had to go and I couldn't edit it.

It's pretty simple, actually.
This:

Code:

[url=http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/344672]Jail Break[/url]

produces this:
Jail Break
(I'm not too sure why everyone else got that weird-looking link.) Edit: now I get it... they had a space between [url= and the project's URL.
