Here is the text that will create a link to www.google.com and call it "google." The text below has a space between the first left-bracket and the first "L" so that the thread doesn't actually show the link. The next line I typed has that "space" removed and the thread knows I want the line to appear as a link called, "google". So below you should see two lines. One that has some magic text with one extra space (so the line just looks like text) and the next line with the extra space removed should be displayed as a link that will take you to google. Feel free to post a reply and try to create your own link to another site.
