hey all I'm learning html and am wanting to try to create a link.
here goes

what did I do wrong.
[ahref"http://www.hotwire.com/webmonkey/reference"]
the correct syntax for that link would be:
Holy Shit the rest of this post is one big link. LOL I was wondering what HTML code do you need to imput music on page.
A good way to learn html also is to go under the view menu (assuming you are using internet explorer) and then go to view source. Then you can follow on examples. There are also many books and there is much documentation out there about html. Spike, next time you want to put a structure of a code try a slightly different method (spell out symbols or explain rather than input the code)
thanks for the help I'll try again later.
For a fairly in-depth primer on HTML usage, see my "Getting into the HTML Zone" post.
Briefly, the process of creating a link is done thusly:
We differentiate an HTML element from standard text with the < and > delimiters (such as the <bold> tag). Text which is to be displayed within the context of our HTML element then goes inside a pair of opening and closing tags, like thus:
<b>This is a bolded sentence.</b>
Specifically, the creation of a link employs the anchor tag ("<a>"), along with supplemental parameters which designate the type of anchor (link), its target, and the displayed text/image/element which is associated with said link. Following the display value of the anchor tag, one should terminate the anchor with its ending delimiter, </a>.
An example follows:
<a href="http://www.google.com">Google, Omega Search Engine</a>
More about HTML (especially as it pertains to the Zone BBS implementation) can be glened from the previously referenced post, so I won't go into further detail here. Hope it helps.

sorry about that, will do so next time
mail to mkfan_forever@bluebottle.com
I just wish the <code> tag was allowed in here.
< a h r e f = "URL"> Text you want displayed in the browser. < / a >
I think it works like this:
google
but how do I make it show the code without it turning itself in to a link.
You put the letters without the signs. For instance, you can do
less-than a h r e f = " h t t p : / / w w w . g o o g l e . c o m / Greater-than g o o g l e < / >
Believe it or not, I think I've included pretty detailed instructions on this in my post I referred to earlier. Do you guys just prefer to ask without reading first? As they say: RTFM.
As a hint though: You can insert the symbols required to display the code by employing the ampersand (&) sign followed by a symbolic name for the character you wish to display.

Sorry, just trying to help out the idiots that didn't understand from the above posts.
