    First higlight the http address by left mouse click.  Then do a right mouse click to display a small floating menu and select copy option.  Come here and open your post and where you decide to paste your http link do the right mouse click again.  Select past and it will paste your link.  Also hit the enter key to activate the link here so when others click on it they will jump to your linked address.  Try it asn see how you do.

    Julie,

    You can do it!!  What I do is highlight the web address by clicking the cursor, when it highlights I then click CNRL and the C key at the same time (that's control and the regualr C key on the keyboard).  C means copy.  When posting the link, click CNRL and the V key and that will paste it, then hit the return key.

    the above is the link to this post.  It may take a few times but you'll get the hang of it.

    Now, if I only knew how to post photos, I'll have it made!!!

    Dear Jelly and cp14,

    I keep trying and it says I have to disable a pop up window. There's no pop ups. I will keep trying. I even wrote your instructions out and have them right by the keypad.  

     Thanks so much though!

    Julie - it sounds like you have a pop-blocker enabled or turned on.  Try going to your toolbar andchange this status.  Maybe then these steps will work for you.

    Jellydonut - your name is too funny!  I use to be a hard core jelly donut addict.  It looks like I will have to hit the bakery this week!

    You can actually copy and paste like cp418 & like jelly donut said

    either way works 

    just a reminder after you paste it leave a space and than you can just click on it

    other wise it won't work

    if you try preview 1st you'll see if it's light up and worked right

    Julie - You did it.  What works for me to enable the link after I paste it  - - - hit the Enter key.  Make sure you do not add a space on the end before you hit Enter. The color of the link will change or be highlighted so if someone clicks then they are linked to the site.  Anyway don't worry - - anyone can simply copy/paste your links to view. 

     Thank you for taking the time to share with others!!

    Thank you cp418, jellydonut and rockwell_girl,

     I don't think mine works.  My link is not lit up like yours.

     Thank you though, for being patient and so kind.

    Julie,

    If you have Word on your computer you can practice there.  Just copy the link and then paste it in Word...but remember, you MUST press the ENTER key after you past the link.  That's how it "lights up."
