OK. I need someone to explain to me the method for putting direct links into posts to connect story parts.

Thank you!

I second that motion. I would like to add that if some one could post explaining how to italicize stuff that would be helpful to me (I'm a geek but lack da computer skills. Heck while we're at it could someone just post a general guide to posting stories in the blue sun room. Just in case any unforseen issues/problems arise, we could have general help instructions to refer too.

I believe you just use tags like this

[ URL ] link here [ /URL ] without the spaces

[ i ] text here [ /i ] without spaces for italics

Italics

[ b ] text here [ /b ] without spaces for bold

bold

The latter two certainly work in the Bluesun room because I use them

[ URL ] link here [ /URL ] without the spaces

OK--thanks! I'll have to try that. But I've just seen someone do it so the link shows up as their chosen text, such as Part 1, Part 2, etc.

What's the trick to that?

Well, darn.

I can't get either way to work!

What the heck am I doing wrong?

It might be that you need different tags in the Bluesunroom

Sorry if I raised your hopes
