This article will deal with how to place a live link in a comment on this site.


Placing a live link in comments

Links are not automatically posted live so you will have to use a little HTML code to make them live. We will try to make this as easy as possible.


Step 1: Place the code below where you want the live link to appear in your comment. You will have to type it out, it cannot be copied and pasted from here unless you copy as "copy link location" then paste it in comments. Then remove the http:// that proceeds the code you see below:

<a href="URL">TITLE</a>

NOTE: The quotation marks must still be there after you have completed this step.



Step 4: Choosing a Title. There are three options here:

1) Use the title of the article, web page or You Tube video etc...

2) Make up any title you wish to use.

3) Use the link as the title.

All three follow the same steps. You can copy and paste a title or type it in.

Once you have chosen a title type, you must now replace the title in the HTML code with the title of your choosing:

NOTE: Some sites may have (like OWoN) a 'Read more' or 'First seen at' following anything you copy from their site. Just simply delete any text in the Title that you don't want.



Now publish it and it will look like this:

If you choose to use the link as the title follow ALL the same steps and just replace the Title with the link:
