Text for Link to Web Site

[paz]

How do you put in text for a link to a web site with the new software? I can see how to put in a link, but it the full link appears in the text of my post. With the old software, the URL icon would give you 2 lines - one for the link itself and one for the text that would appear in the post. In the new software, I can only see the link icon, which gives the link only, no descriptive text.

I believe you type and then highlight your descriptive text in your post before you select the link icon.

Of course, you can always use the old (url=http://www.internetlocation.com)DESCRIPTIVE TEXT(/url) method, replacing () in this example with [] as the software will parse the text for links.

Thanks, Rusty.

I tested your suggestions and they both work; but the first method is easier to remember.
