Okay, total noob question:

I was about to post on one of the "Will Review For Food" topics, but I realized that everyone had these really short links to their stories, and my link was one of those that goes on for like three lines. How do I access a story/write a link in such a way that the link is not a novel in itself?
I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense... Most of the links, for example, would just be "topic" and then a number and then.html.
Thanks for any help!

When you post the link, it will automatically be shortened for you, don't worry.

Hyperlinks! All you do is follow this formula:

Code: Select all
[url=http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/page_index.php]Page Discovery[/url]


And it turns out like:

Page Discovery.

Let me know if you need clarification. :)

Edit- Ah. Never did read the second half of your post. xD Yes, links will automatically be shortened for you. But you can also use the above method if you want to call the link something.
