I’m curious on to how I make a link that says what I want it to say instead of making a long link that has the site and everything. I see that people know how to do it, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Is there a way? or does everyone’s link just happen to be like that?
Please help. thanks!!

Look directly below the text box where you answer questions.
quote your text here quote colon url
No spaces.
“your text goes here” :URL
minus the space. It’s under the type box along with other helpful tips. I’m on a iPhone right mow though so I can’t double check and hope I’m not making an ass of myself.
@Haroot Thanks, that makes sense. Awesome.
Take a look below the box in which you type on all these pages. You’ll see a few examples of the markup language used on Fluther (including making links), as well as a link to the entire list of markup options.
Now if only we had underline as well…
@jerv I was just thinking about that! Where’s our underline markup?!
There no mention of this markup though!
What I’d like is the ability to escape the markup. Sometimes I want my text to be surrounded with asterisks rather than bolded….
There is no escape. That’s the price we pay for being part of the Collective.
