here's a nice one:cut and paste the link.. [URL=http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1094163010181&call_pag e=TS_Canada&call_pageid=968332188774&call_pagepath =New s/Can]
Now if it ain't gonna show up as a complete and correctly clickable hyperlink here as in the example you have just provided it would be better still oh Whitby Wizard to do the job properly yourself using the same technique you learnt and mastered for making
"notlong" addresses for pix on the MSN group site (or have you completely lost your mind and memory??
It's as easy as ABCDE!!!
A.First copy the complete URL
B.then go to
http://www.notlong./com
C.Then paste the complete URL into the upper box, replace the random name in the box front of the "dotnotlongdotcom " with your
choice of a short succinct snazzy word/expression
D.Then press "Save as" and after it has been saved you will get a screen showing a link to the notlong url you decreed [plus a password-in case you one
day wish to amend the link later)
E.If you were then to click that link you
should then be forwarded to the URL you wanted and thereby prove that it works (if not have a strong cup of
coffee while you ponder where you went wrong!!!
So just what is all the fuss about??
I will admit that there is one small complication.
when you nave uploaded your picture to the MSN group you need to establish its address by right clicking on the full sized
pic (not the thumbnail) and select "properties"
you will see a box like this:-
and you must then highlight and copy the address (url)which in total will be something like the long sequence shown below
Note that in the case of pix on the MSN group there will be some extraneous characters after the vital "jpg" so only copy as far as "jpg" and paste just that "minimal" URL into the notlong box as shown in C above.
After you press "save as" you will get a clickable link to the final notlong URL which should then prove to you that all is
in order!! If not try something stronger than coffee and take deep breaths!
Whatever you should eventually produce a nice useable link that will display your chosen page or picture viz:-
http://www.lautens2.notlong.com
I tried "rlautens.notlong.com but that was already taken so perhaps after all Char you did try to create a useable link???
