HOW DO create a link ......?

Question

do you know what i mean?you know when you write www.yahoo.com and its underlined and you just click on it.how do i do that?please help

sorry, i explained it wrong.
on a webpage write up,if someone wanted to create a shortcut to 'contact me' ,i want to be able to write contact me and when they click on it,it takes them straight to the contact page.

Answer 1

Ditto all the above, with the addition that, if it's a "contact" page on your very own website, you *can* take a shortcut in the format. Say, the page on which you want to place the link is your home page, whose name is index.html and say, the contact page to which you want to link is called contact.html - then you don't *have* to put all the "http://www." stuff in - you can just have a "relative" address a la:
contact me

And if you would rather have the reader jump directly to an email handler of their very own then you could have:
contact me
which would pop them into Outlook or Outlook Express or Thunderbird or Eudora or whatever their favorite email program is, ready to create an email to your address...

Answer 2

It has to start with "http://" (without the quotes) if you mean in the answer to a question.

Ie: http://prematureoptimism.com/blog

If you are asking about in html either of the above is right. If you are using frontpage or something there is a menu driven way to do so as well. Select the text and then try ctrl-K or look under the insert menu.

Answer 3

go to the web page yourself then right click on the text in the address bar then copy then paste into here or a email it will always create a link
