Today's tip is a quick and easy one!
Have you ever wondered how people add links to their blog post comments in the comment boxes, instead of just listing the URL address of what they are trying to direct you to?
For the longest time, whenever I came across a post that I loved and really wanted them to share it at my weekly link party this is what my comment would look like.
I was so excited when I came across this bit of coding
<a href="http://yoururl.com">what you want it to say</a>
So for example if I wanted to link to my Blog Stalking Thursday link party the link would look like this
<a href="http://www.thecraftyblogstalker.com/search/label/Linky%20Party">Blog Stalking Thursday</a>
When the comment is published it looks like this
Doesn't that look so much nicer? And I think much more readable too!
Thanks for sharing! I love little tips here and there:)

I have been looking for an easy way to do this, but most coding stuff goes way over my head and I'm never sure it will work. Thanks for the simple tip! I've copied and pasted the code to a sticky on my desktop for easy reference!
