All I know how to do is copy and paste the entire “http://www.blahblahblah” stuff. I want to be able to link using the word, like I see you guys doing. Can someone give me a link to a place I can learn how? Thanks!

V V V see below yellow box.
When you are writing a question or answer, look at the bottom of the box. There are a few suggestions there. I have copied them below:
Style your text! strong emphasis whisper link → link. See the entire list.
To answer your question, if you want to link to something on Fluther:
Put the word or words you want to use as the link in “quotes”, then put a colon followed a backslash and then the URL of what you want the link to go to.
As in this question
Although that linking was kind of a dead end, it should give you the idea. You can link to anything on the Web this way.
Thanks, @janbb, I was about to ask if I had to type “link” or “google search” and then the URL. It makes sense now though. I would’ve been speared when “link“http://blahblahblah showed up in my posts, lol.
You’re welcome. It’s really nifty.
@janbb you don’t put a back slash in. It comes with the URL.
It looks like ” this ” :URL here (Only without the spaces.)
hmm You’re right. I goofed on that.
I’ve added the backslash on every example I’ve created today. Didn’t seem to effect it working.
I draw mine using crayons, mostly purple.
