Word links

batoost · 06-26-2008, 08:47 AM

Hi,
silly me thought a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/freetorunband"></a> would work as a click on link, to my band's website in a hotmail e-mail.
This doesn't work for hotmail e-mail, can you please help?
Better still, how do I just use the band name? Or, any word as a direct link without showing all the coding?

Batoost..

Hi batoost welcome to TSF,

With hotmail it looks like you need to use there link icon/button. It looks just like the one that this forum uses, a world with a link on the bottom of it. To use it is very easy. Just type in something like Freetorunband and then click on the world icon to input the URL link. Hotmail will then create a link like the code below but will show correctly on receipt side.

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/freetorunband">Freetorunband</a>

Hope that helps!
