Exactly! But if there aren't enough people interested, it will probably be canceled.  |

| OK, Ok! I won't cancel it! But the date will probably have to be extended. I have a question that you might be able to answer: Say I wanted to put something like, 'check out my fairytale contest' in my siggy... how would I make it blue, you know, so you could click on it? |

Let's say www.youngwriterssociety.com is your link, ok? And you want the words Awesome Site! to be in blue. What you'd do is this (only without the spaces):
[URL = www.youngwriterssociety.com ] Awesome Site! [/URL]
Does that make sense?It took me a really long time to get a hang of it. ^_^
