Hi all
Sorry to be a numpty but I can't seem to be able to post descriptive links and instead I am copying and pasting website addresses instead of something meaningful, for example if I copy this post as follows and then highlight it and click URL above I get this
http://www.eileenslounge.com/posting.php?mode=post&f=12
wher as something like 'Descriptive Hyperlinks' would make more sense to a reader?

Re: External Links
For ordinary URLs you can use the syntax
[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk]The BBC[/url]
which will appear in your post as The BBC
For lounge posts you use the syntax
[post=3686]Steve's Post about external links[/post]
which will appear in your post as Steve's Post about external links
