Simple, pimple! [cross-threading to rhyme time, not calling you a pimple!] Simply type [ url ] before the link and [ /url ] after (sans spaces in the square brackets) and voila! You've got a clickable link. Course, if'n you got a LONG link, you should use http://www.makeashorterlink.com so that it doesn't make the screen go wide.  Hope that helps!!

and don't forget the url mark up tag adds "http://" for you, so delete those from you pasted in link, other wise you end up with http://http://www.xxx.com and that won't work!
all of this is in the FAQ! really you should read the FAQ, when i first started, i printed the FAQ info and its just 4 short pages! its nice to have the directions printed out...
mind you its doesn't tell you all the secrets, but we share secrets here anyway!

Yep, of troy's advice about deleting the http part is important. I go ahead and also delete the www. and that doesn't seem to affect the heat of the link. Should I have said hotness of the link?

wouldn't talk a about a hot link being hot, or hotter, or warm.. it's either a hotlink, or a broken link...(or it could be a dead link.. but links break or die, they don't cool off!
and yes, many times the www is not needed.

As a friendly suggestion, get a doll and massage its eyes. Safer, and just as efficacious.
