Thank-you!

Comments

Okay, Carleeeeesa, here. When you reply to post or a comment, buttons appear at the top of your comment box. B is for Bold. I is for italic. U is for underline. And then---->>> comes the little chain LINK button (get it? link. They're so clever.)

Let's use my blog as an example. You're writing a comment somewhere and you want to link my blog. You would go to whatever page on my blob you want to link. Go to the URL address at the top of that page and copy it.

Then you go to your comment box, where you're writing the message, and write to where you want to link my blob. Go up to the CHAIN LINK icon and click it. A little window pops up, asking you for the URL you just copied. Paste it in there and hit return or click OK. Another little window pops up. It asks you what word or words you want to use to send people to my page. It could be any word or words you want--jaypo, buz, that poopie butt or whatever. Type that word or words in there. Hit return or OK.

Now that word appears in blue as a link. Make sure the cursor is at the very end so you don't type over it thereby deleting it. You'll have to do it all over if you do. Then finish your message.

When you save it, you'll see the word underlined in your comment and a different color, just like a link on a web page--which it is!

Same thing for writing a post.

Hope this helps!

memmamimminit...im be tryin! :)

[this is good]
*giggle*

You'll get it, Car!

In the meantime, I'll just sit and admire your banner! I noticed it before, I just didn't know Kirk made it!! It's TERRIFIC!!
Thanks J
I may try this too.
C -- maybe it's the rum, but I never figured this out either.

Oh, and I love this banner.

let me know when you get it. I think i might have a mental block on the puter---too early to blame it entirely on the rum.

Aw, thanks Carlisa! I'm glad peeps like it. I played around with that VOX-head a lot. Maybe I'll post others.

I'm also thinking about making up some different Profile Avatars for people to use that are funny variations on the VOX-head. What do you guys think?
YES!!! That would be fun! I wish I was puter savvy! *snuffle*
One thing I learned as a Game Play Counselor at Nintendo is that sometimes you have to give game directions in more than one description because different people process info differently, so I'm going to try a different method of explaining the linking thing:

1. Write your post.
2. Use your mouse to highlight the word(s) you want to have link somewhere.
3. With the word(s) highlighted, click the little links icon (fourth one on comments box; looks like three chain links) -- a dialog box pops up.
4. Enter the URL of the page you wish to link to into the dialog box and click OK.
5. Voila! Your text now links to the desired page.

Let me know if anything isn't clear and I'll do another version with pictures. :)

Thanks! Let me try that way, too.

Hey, that's a new one on me, Kirk~ less cumbersome!! Thanks!

And you mos def should do play arounds on the Vox non-face.
