I have enabled HTML on this site in the postings to here is some great helpful hints to get you going:

Clickable URL

Be sure you add an http:// before the URL and the message board will do the rest!
Example
gives http://www.etsy.com once the message is posted.

Clickable/lingked Text

If you want something like "Etsy" to be the clickable text, then using the copy and paste method as in point 2, type up:

Code:

[url=http://www.etsy.com]Etsy[/url]

You will get this:
Etsy

The text in the first square brackets after url= indicates what URL the clickable text will load when clicked. The bit after, is the text you want to be clickable and the last set of square brackets let's the system know that there is no more text that needs to be clickable after this, allowing you to continue typing normal text.
These square brackets are called tags, the first one is the opening tag and the last one with the same text inside but prefixed with a / is the closing tag.
The url tag can be used for any address but all url's must be prefixed with their protocol (http:// ftp:// mailto: etc.)

Inserting a Picture

If you know the url of a picture and wish to insert it, this can be done using [img] codes. To make the picture at http://images.etsy.com/all_images/a/a80/96f/il_fullxfull.6275884.jpg appear as an image in your post use this:

Code:

[img]http://images.etsy.com/all_images/a/a80/96f/il_fullxfull.6275884.jpg[/img]

and you will get this:

To insert a picture that is linked to a web address when you click on it use this code:

Code:

[url=http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=5424882][img]http://images.etsy.com/all_images/a/a80/96f/il_fullxfull.6275884.jpg[/img][/url]

And you will get this (it's linked to it's listing in my Etsy Shop!):

Good luck and I hope this helps ~spice up~ your postings!
