Provide A Link

[retrocop]

I suppose that this quest for advice should really be in the Technical section but I have put it in News because this is where I see links asked for or provided the most. I was asked to provide a link to a story I had read in yahoo News which I posted here last week. I had to confess I did'nt know how to as I am not that computer literate. What little I do know is self taught as I bumble along in the dark. Is it difficult to provide a link from,say,yahoo news and how do you do it in simple non too techy words? TIA

RIGHT click on link, this then should turn blue.

Select COPY on drop down menu and LEFT click

Select where you need to place link and RIGHT click

Select PASTE from drop down menu and LEFT click.

A quicker and simplier way even -

1. Highlight whatever you want to copy - if a link highlight the url http....

2. Hold down the control button and at the same time press the 'c' button

3. Go to where you want to post the link .

4. Hold down the control button and at the same time press the 'v' button
