Is that embedding? If it's easy to explain.. please fill me in.

THANKS!!
Lynne


you have to be a little more specific. are you talking about on a website or blog? or are you talking about the forums? each site is a little different...

Thanks Emily. Uh oh... I better see this done in person. My 19 yr old has offered to help me over fall break even though he seems mortified that his mom is blogging:)

what blogging platform are you using? wordpress, blogger, other?

in all of those, there should be an icon that looks like a chain link or world. if you put your cursor over it (without clicking) and it will say link or html.

it really might be easier for someone to show you in person, or if you could find a tutorial on whatever blog you are using...

sorry i can't be more helpful.

Lynne,

If you use blogger, when you are writing your post, there is an icon in the toolbar at the top (the same place you go to insert a picture) that says "link". You highlight the words you want to have link, ie "Charmed by Nature" would be highlighted, then click "link" and a box will pop up for you to enter the url such as http://charmedbynature.etsy.com. Click on "okay" and you're done. Easy peasy lemon squeezy (as my boys and I say).

Hope that helps!
