Embedding simple text as a link

[Valiea]

So how do I embed the word "this" with a website? I have tried the <a href="www.whatever.blah"My text here.</a> and then with the brackets instead of the alligators.

Enlighten me!

<a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com">MMO-Champion</a>

That would create a link to MMO-Champion (like MMO-Champion) in an HTML web page.

HTML coding is typically disabled on forums, however, to avoid code injection exploits, cross-site scripting attacks, etc.

So if I did <a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com">MMO-Champion</a> why does it show in a preview the whole <a href..... noise?

Because HTML is disabled on this forum for the reasons I listed above. On this forum, you'd want to use code like:

[url=http://www.mmo-champion.com]MMO-Champion[/url]
