    How do I insert a link but fill the text with my own words?!

    I've tried & I just hump it every time. Phooie.

    If you really want to spend money, you could get one with peddles, then you can fish a lot easier and don't have to twist your back at all.

    Type the words first, then highlight the word you want to turn into the link and click the little Globe with a chain link icon (between the smiley face and the envelope). Paste the link in the box, done.

    * I just figured that out the other day for the first time in my boots thread.

    Select the words you want the link to be, then click the "Link" button. The link ends up looking like:

    <URL="http://www.google.com/"]Like so: [/URL>

    Where the < and > are replaced with [ and ].

    Don't even get me started on peddle 'yaks! Man oh man, the Hobie drive is so elegant! But I definitely wouldn't like that style, it's more like a stair stepper than a peddle kayak. I like the other styles that are more like bikes. The hobie propulsion blades are pretty sweet though!

    My first ever kayak trip as an adult was in a Hobie with peddles. That thing cruised.
