hot link

I hate to sound like such a noob, but I am very envious of you guys that make a hot link out of a word or picture. I always wanted to learn how to do that. Like when a sentence says click "here" The word "here" is blue, and when I click it I go to a web page. Is there a program that does this or is this a skill I have to learn? I am an old fart and I do not learn things as quick as I used to.

    Text link in VB:
    [ url = WEBLINK GOES HERE ] Here. [ /url ]

    Text link in HTML:
    <a href="websitelink" target="_blank">Here</a>

    Image link in VB:
    [ url=LINK TO YOUR URL HERE ][ img ]IMAGE ADDRESS HERE[ /IMG ][ /url ]

    Image link in VB:
    <a href="websitelink" target="_blank"><img src=image link here></a>

    Remove all spaces in the VB ones. Replace the placeholders where appropriate.

    VB means VBulletin, which is the forum software used here at S-M.

    The easiest thing to do is to write the word you want and highlight it. Then, press the world icon and input the web address you want to link. Your word will now be a link.
