I knew how to do this once, but I can't remember now.

How do I make it so that if I put a URL in the post I can change it so that the word becomes a clickable link, rather than an ungainly URL?

Have I explained myself clearly enough?

Right

Copy & paste URL as usual

http: // http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/ ... lla-lawson

Sticke the url code round it as usual

[url ] http: // http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/ ... lla-lawson [ / url]

Move the first ] and put an = in front of http

[url = http ://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2012/apr/25/bbc2-food-season-nigella-lawson ] [ / url]

Then type the clickable word between ] and [

[url = http: //www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2012/apr/25/bbc2-food-season-nigella-lawson ] HERE [ / url]

Obviously all without any spaces to give this

Or: Use the URL button. Clicking that places your cursor in between the [urls] and you simply paste your link.

Way!

Thanks Sue.

Paul, your method gives a link but not quite what I was looking for, thanks though.

Oops, sorry, folks!

Thought it seemed a bit too obvious!
