How to make a neat link in a comment New Blogger version:
1.
Go to this page and make a new post. It should be easy, as you do this often ;)
2.
Write a relevant word: I choose "Link":
3.
Mark the word, and choose Link (funny icon like a broken chain) from the menu bar (I have to first choose ••• and then Link, because I enlarged the size and the menu bar does not enlarge).
4.
Tick off open link in a new window (the one ticked off in grey), and click on "Insert link here" (or something like it - sorry my Blogger speaks Danish 😀) the letters turn small and blue.
4.
Copy the relevant link from somewhere (here from one of my WfW posts) and paste it on the red line. Select USE (or whatever - the orange word in Capitals) or hit Enter
I use "Ctrl + C" to copy and "Ctrl + V" to paste.
5.
Now your post looks like this. Press the pencil to the left, marked by a red circle:
6.
Press HTML - the <>. Your post looks like this:
Mark the text from <a to a> and copy it (Ctrl + C) you don't want a new line along with your link.
7.
Press the <> and choose Compose again - at the pencil icon - to make your editing window look normal next time around.
8.
Go to the comment you were writing, or wherever you're writing something needing this link. Write your comment / post / whatever.
At the right place paste your link using "Ctrl + V". It'll look like this:
Choose "publish" and voila.
NOTES
- Take care to not inadvertently publish this post 😉
- I keep a draft with links for copy/pasting. Then I just need to edit the link instead of starting over every time I need a link.
