mask / cloak url

[wwhit]

I"m new here and very much a layman.
I need to learn how to mask an url so instead of seeing the url you would see click here, go to, or whatever text. Hopefully something I can cut/paste from then on if I wanted to place it in a post/email. Thanks.

I think what you are after, ar far as the web is concerned, is

<a href="http://www.WebDeveloper.com">A good web forum</a>


Which gives you A good web forum (http://www.WebDeveloper.com).

If you are using something like Outlook, there will be a tool to insert hyperlinks in a similar way if you are sending HTML emails. In the case of Outlook 2003, Insert|Hyperlink does it.

Of course, you might mean cloaking (http://webdesign.about.com/od/seo/i/aa092704.htm). Not recommended.

Thanks Kiwibrit,
I'm trying to get into internet marketing and this is a tool I really needed. I know I need at least SOME html under my belt, but there is so much more I'm trying to get my head wrapped around at this time. But anyway, Many Thanks.
