If I wanted to send an email with links in it (I have a hotmail account) how can I change the links so they don't appear as the website but as a specific word or phrase.
For instance if I wanted this link to the book Trainspotting on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Trainspotting-Irvine-Welsh/dp/0393057240/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282253066&sr=1-1
to appear as 'Trainspotting' rather than the web address, or this link to a cat named Charlie James on Cutecats.com: http://www.cutecats.com/charlie-james.html
to simply read as 'Charlie James', how would I go about doing that? I've gotten as far as clicking on "insert hyperlink" on a new e-mail message, then the http:// pops up for me to enter the web address. Do I enter something extra there? Or can I bypass that step all together and put it manually straight into the e-mail?
Also, would the code be any different if I wanted to do the same thing in say, a post on a forum site or in other places on the internet?
Argh, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm trying that code and it isn't working. I've tried it with the "quotation marks" and without. Which is the correct way?
