When your typing a post there are two ways to do this:

1. The easiest. Just under the window where you type the text are the 8 buttons for inserting code. Use the [url=] button to insert a link with different text as the hyperlink.
Replace the "http://put.url.here" with the url of the page and replace the "linkname" with the text you want people to click on.

2. A little harder. Use HTML code to do it. Here's how:

Code:
 <a href="http://put.url.here" target="_blank" title="text">linkname</a> 



Replace the "http://put.url.here" with the url of the page. Replace "text" with the text that will appear when the link is moused over and replace "linkname" with the text people will click on. The target part tells the the link to open in a new window.

For example, the code to make this Armorama link looks like:


Code:
<a href="https://armorama.kitmaker.net" title="Aircraft Modeling Rules" target="_blank">Armorama</a>
