Incidentally how do you post a link with a title/description rather than just the hyperlink text?

Easy way is to use the 'Insert Link' button when you are writing a post.

That just brings up a Type drop down and the http hyperlink field. On other forums I've seen a comment field which adds the text to display as the link.

To be honest I've never paid any attention to how the link is coded and I'm looking for the 2 minute training wheels primer

I'm no geek, but this is child's play:

Click 'Insert Link'

Paste in the URL of your choice

Click OK

It then appears in the post, but the URL is highlighted

Type over the highlighted section with the words you would like to use to describe your URL

Easy-peasy!

Click on the "globe on a piperclip" icon, and paste the URL in the first field.

Then when it plugs the "URL" string in your text replace the highlighted URL with your text. A "URL" block is the same in principle as an HTML "a" block.

Cheers I'll try that next time I get the urge to post a link

I'm not sure of the law on this but wouldn't it be covered by Parliamentary Privilege?

I'm no lawyer, but doesn't that only cover stuff said in Parliament itself?

Its turning into an Orwellian nightmare, if you see Gordon on all fours grunting muttering to himself "two legs good, four legs bad" - you know its all over for us.

Well, you will be ok then Roland Rat

Seriously though, I an glad MPs are finally falling foul to their own legislation and invasion of civil liberties.

So would I be, if it were the creators of that legislation that were falling foul of it.
