I'm rubbish with anything you have to switch on so if i could ask for some help from you guys in the know it would be great. Basically what i want to know is how do i put in a link to another website on one of my thread or posts? It could be another clubs forum page or official site page or something else that i might want to include. Also pictures and photos too, how do i get one i like off the net, say a photo of a stadium we are due to visit, and post it on my thread? I know this will seem basic knowledge to many of you but don't forget i have an Austrian family and have been locked in a cellar for the past 29 years therefore have no idea what technology is. Many thanks fellow yellows! :-D

Is this for you using wordpress and doing a blog for the main site? Or do you just mean linking stuff like this on a post -

Open in another tab the thing you want to link to link to. (if that makes sense!) And where it displays the url (usually top left, starts with http://www.) right click in that box and click 'copy'. Back in the window you have open for torquay fans where you are writing your post, right click and select paste and then click spacebar to give the link 'room to breathe'. When you're done and submit your post it should come up with the hyperlink active automatically.

Internet for year 4s = done.

Also to post images (seen you asked this on a topic on main board)...

Click REPLY TO TOPIC (don't use quick reply to do this)


At the bottom of the page (below SUBMIT) click the Upload attachment tab

Choose the file and then click attach to post.

Then submit your post. :)
