HOW I DID IT:

1) Bring up compose post window.

2) Click on the box showing --- http : // --- and (for my IE browser anyways) a prompt box pops up asking you to enter the text you want ...

3) Enter text you want then click OK ... which pops up another prompt box to insert an url. Insert url and click OK ... that immediately enters the link into the post and the prompt box disappears.

VOILA.

I hope this works for you if you're on different type browsers or computers? Geoff taught me how to do this and I'm passing it on to you, so if you can't figure it out, give him heck instead of me


(Thanks Geoff)
