1. How do you get to sdpeoplepages?
2. How do you create a hyperlink word?  
Sorry, I know these are probably basic, but I’m still new to computers.  
Thanks, Steve

To learn how to make a hyperlink word, click on the words “vB code is ON” that appear at the bottom of this page. This will teach you everything you need to know. Hint: print them out so you can hold them in your hand while you are practicing.

Re the People Pages: while you’re waiting for someone to show up with the link, you could do a Search in MPSIMS for Shayna’s Update thread, or actually any other People Pages thread.

There’s lots more linking and formatting stuff.

Some are listed here:

**["just a test using quotes"](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31782)**

**[Spacing and Indenting- Help!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33271)**

**[Don’t forget the link. Here’s how to post one, Part Next](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25307)**

**[The e-mail URL saga continues…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=32865)**

It’s too bad the vB page can’t be added to, to add all the other stuff, but it seems to belong to the board software vendor.
