How do you make a link?

I know you can make a link that says the page's web address, but how do you make one that says, for example, Click here for Scratch! instead of http://scratch.mit.edu

Re: How do you make a link?

Use BBCode.

Code:

[url=Link goes here]What you want the link to say[/url]

Hope this helped!

Re: How do you make a link?

If the site that you want to put the link support html you can use this:

<a href="http://scratch.mit.edu">Your text here</a>

Unfortunately, the Scratch website doesn't support HTML because HTML is pretty open to abuse. So this is probably not what you're looking for.

I don't think that he asked for putting a link into http://scratch.mit.edu. I think that the question was how he can put a link that redirects to scratch from another website.
