Links

A little confusing to me, how do I add a link to a post.

Thanks

just type in the URL for example: http://www.toledotalk.com

You can drop in the raw URL, and it will get converted to a link.

http://boingboing.net/2011/08/25/animated-map-of-va-earthquake-tweets-august-23-2011.html

If you want to format the link with other text, then surround the text to be displayed with double-quotes followed by the colon punctuation mark and then the link.

So this ...

"Animated map of VA earthquake tweets":http://boingboing.net/2011/08/25/animated-map-of-va-earthquake-tweets-august-23-2011.html

gets converted to this:

Animated map of VA earthquake tweets

You can also use the HTML anchor tag.

Some day, I'll add the buttons to do some formatting. They work fine in Firefox and Chrome. I just haven't spent the time to make them work for IE.
