    A quick "im not that good at computer stuff" question

    How do you change the name on a link?
    Like in instead of it reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_..._You%27re_Dead

    You make it say click "here", and "here" will lead you to the link

                          Another way is this:

                          1. Type the word that you want to be able to click
                          2. Highlight it
                          3. Click the little Earth sign that says insert link
                          4. Copy n paste the link into it
                          5. Done

                          Thats how I do it.
