I've wanted to add a link in my hub, but I didn't want it to look like this: http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Popularity-of-Being-Rude -- I wanted to just have this: Tom Cornett
Can someone please tell me how to do this? I have looked and looked, but can't find it anywhere, especially since I don't know what to even call this...
Thank you!
Tammy
When you have the text capsule editor open just highlight the words you want to link to by clicking and dragging over them then at the to of the editor there is a button that looks like a chain, when you open that a new window opens that has a place for you to enter the URL to where you want the link. then click the insert button.
I am assuming you mean turn the word blue and make it a link not have the link there.
In order to do this go into your hub and edit.
Highlight the word, say the word is bullying you would highlight just this word then you click the chain in the toolbar and it will bring up another box where you add in the link. Follow the directions there and save. That should do it for you.
Hi Tam and thank you LYNNE, that is very useful, am glad to visit forums once in awhile you learn a lot from here
Thank you--that's what I was looking for, and I was hoping someone would understand what I was trying to describe, lol...
Now to go play with it, see what I can do...

You use to be able to highlight a word or two and get a drop down of related Hubs. That don't happen anymore for me. I might get one 'community' style link, but nothing like it use to be with 8 or 10 related hubs you could choose to link too. I just don't see the significance...

I have been using the 'suggest links' tool on most of my hubs, and I think it is great. But there are a few links I would like to edit or delete, and I can't find a way of doing it. Does anyone know whether this can be done, and if so how?

Ok I have noticed a few people have a light blue lettered link on their profiles that takes you either to their website or a few of their fav hubs. Could someone kindly tell me how to do this, thank you.

How do I create a shortcut for a hub to post in my bio (not a link)?I want a simple link in my bio to some of my favorite hubs, I know how to post a link, but how do I post a shortcut that only contains the name of the hub so it looks cleaner?
