How do I post a photo of myself and how do I do this; Let’s say I have a link to a webpage, how can I make that link a different word other than the web address that you could still click on and be directed to that webpage. People on here do it all the time I just don’t know how yet.

Well, if you don’t want to write the HTML yourself, you can just click the Link button on top of the “Reply to Topic” screen. It’s fourth from the right, the little Earth with an infinity symbol on it. It will prompt you to enter the text to be displayed (“My Picture”, for example), then it will ask for the URL for the link ([http://www.STARTpics.com](http://www.STARTpics.com), or whatever).
[So, go forth and link!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5349922#post5349922)
