Havalotta,
Here's an example of a link.... for WildlfeGardeners: This is the LINK: Wildlife Gardeners This is the URL : "www.wildlifegardeners.org" Links are the things you click on. The link above actually has a hidden road map (URL) underneath it that tells your browswer where to go when it gets clicked on. Code:
www.wildlifegardeners.org Typing all those words and gobbeldy gook characters to get to a web site would be a pain in the butt, so often LINKS are created to represent all those strange looking words and characters. Links are basically shortcuts. For example: Here's a link to a seed packet in the Seed Packet Forum for White Wood Aster divaricatus Seed Packet Below are URL characters coded into the link for the White Wood Aster Seed Packet: Code:
http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/attachments/seed-packet-templates-free-printable-seed-packs/9639d1254892656-ready-print-seed-packets-aster-divaricatus-white-wood-aster.doc It would be very tedious. To make things easy, links are used instead. Even better, links can be copied and pasted. Copying and pasting links is a really good thing or I'd get pretty tired fingers typing out all those long URL's that LINK to my seed packets. Links are nice to use because you can make a link in a post that references another post. If you make a link directing someone to another post, you are really making a handy shortcut. Does this make it easier for you to understand? Still have questions? Let me know. BooBooBearBecky |

Is it possible to place a link to a specific post in a thread into another website? I'd like to be able to refer a Facebook friend to a specific post, not just the thread.
