Have done exactly that over at VC (volokh.com), but have never gotten it to work for me. Maybe some computer software sophisticate, something I am very much not, will come forward to affirm that it may not be possible to accomplish from every computer. (I have a PC that operates with Windows XP.)

Does it work elsewhere? Maybe it's the particular concatenation of your computer and OS with VC. I run XP also.

If anyone wants to practice linking, you can practice here in the comments, but please don't link anything obscene or weird. My mom reads this.

Is this not what I have been doing?

No.

You have the URL there but you have to type in the stuff before and after:

the less-than sign
a href=
"http://www.newalbanynews-exchange.com/section.asp?id=14"
the greater-than sign
article about sweets
the less-than sign
/a
the greater-than sign

Then you get this:

article about sweets
