We've been here before but I'm in a good mood. There's an explanation at one of our favourite sites for whistles and bells - Click Here For HTML Goodies.

To link to google and use the words "click here" as the link, copy this: <a href="http://www.google.co.uk">click here</a> Copy and paste this and change the url and the words - saves you having to learn anything new ;-) If anyone wants to be able to post html examples then don't type the < and > symbols as your html will be interpreted rather than printed. Use &lt; and &gt; for the benefit of these keen to learn folks :)
