LJ Posting Help

Could someone give me an example of the coding to post a link to another webpage in an entry and just have the link name show up highlighted? The coding I used to use isn't working.

Thanks!

If you Post an entry using Visual Editor, it's really easy. I never use the HTML posting, too confusing.

Anywho. To attach a link using Visual Editor, copy the address of the webpage you want to highlight. Highlight the word you want to attach your link to, and then click on the chain in your menu. A box will appear saying Link. Paste in your webpage link and click done. The word you had highlighted will show up different colored, or bolded and the link will be attached for anyone to click on it and go to that webpage. Hope this helps.

I have never posted using visual editor, I will try that.

Highlighted in what way?

If you fill this out with your URL and whatever you want your link to say:

<a href="URL HERE">TITLE OF LINK</a>

It will look like this:

TITLE OF LINK

Is that what you're looking for? If not, more than happy to keep offering things! :)

That's actually what I tried, but when I did a preview and clicked on the highlighted word, up pops a window offering to share on various social media sites.

I am confused...
