Subject: How To Hyperlink
Written By: Red Ant on 08/19/06 at 1:47 pm
I see several of you asked how to create those clicky-links I did in my parody yesterday. Here is the code:
<a href="full url of the link">description of link</a>
Example:
<a href="http://www.amiright.com">This website rules</a>
If you copy/paste the above line onto the submission screen and hit "preview" it will turn it into one of the clickable links, which will look like this:
This website rules
A few notes:
All quotation marks, <> signs, and slashes / have to be done exactly as shown in the basic code.
Leaving out ANY part of the code will cause a busted link. Strange things will happen if you mess it up, such as turning the entire preview screen into a link. I reccommend triple checking all links before submitting, especially if you are doing something like a completed album.
If the code has been done right, the link(s) will be clickable from the preview screen.
AFAIK, only AmIRIght URLs are allowed in the parody text section itself. The top and bottom comment sections can link outside sites such as lyrics or sound files, which brings me to
Unless you have your own website hosting it, linking directly to a sound file is a bad idea. Most times that link will only work for you, or it'll be busted in a matter of days. Many sites that host them specifically ask/tell you to not link directly to the file. Linking to the main site and letting the reader find the soundfile from there is a better idea.
Messageboard codes do not work on AmIRight.
If all that is too confusing, here it is from the "submit a parody" screen:
The proper way to construct a link is: <a href="http://www.amiright.com">Site name</a>. Replace the http://www.amiright.com with the URL (address) of your website, don't leave amiright.com in there, and make website name the description of the link.

I read it, commented and voted. I think you left out the </a> part of the code.
