like so:
{url=“urlurlurlhereherehere”}display text here{/url}
Substitute the “{}” with “”
It will show up like this:

and be a clickable link…

Ooooh!! I made a link! Wooo!
By the way, **Pammipoo** , this type of thing has been answered repeatedly in ATMB and GQ, so check out that nifty, friendly search feature in the upper right.
