Some blogging platforms make it simple to add a link. If one types http:// at the beginning of an address it automatically becomes a live link.
Blogger does not have this function but you can still put links in your comments. To do so requires adding just a few more characters:
Let’s say for example that I wanted to put a link to this post about a hike up to Mount Hollywood in a comment. The url of the link is http://katherinekean.blogspot.com/2006/07/mount-hollywood-on-4th-of-july.html I would then add this in front of the url:
And this after the url:
And it will come out as a clickable text link:
Mount Hollywood on the 4th of July
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Hey! Great tip. Thanks.
Bonnie, Marianne,
You're welcome!
Marianne - it works - and thanks for the links to check out. I'll let you know when I learn how to make a comment link open in a new window...
Thank you for the tip. I am trying to do this but it isn't working for me. I was able to make the words a text link but when I clicked on it, it says that error 404, page not found. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
Here's my blog that I am trying this on. I made an entry today that needs help.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Vivienne,
I'm sorry it isn't working. In my experience I usually find that I've missed something in the code - or added something that shouldn't be there. It's also necessary to have permanent links enabled on your blog, if that's what you're linking to.
I looked at your blog and it does seem to have the permanent links, so I'm not sure what the problem might be.
I liked your blog very much, by the way - wonderful photographs. I also like that you have "Christian the Lion" as one of your favorites. I guess it's not available on YouTube anymore, but can be had on Amazon.
Hi Katherine ~
I still haven't a clue why it isn't working for me but I haven't tried to figure it out since I posted this.
Thanks for letting me know about the link, I didn't realize it wasn't available any longer.
Your body of work is amazing! I love it. FYI ~ I noticed you have a link for Georgia O'keefe . . . did you know there is a movie coming out, I believe on Lifetime, in September? I'm looking forward to watching it.
Vivienne
Thanks for sharing
Jay Hsiang
Thanks Vivienne. I've heard that the Georgia O'Keeffe movie was going to be shown. I guess that'll be soon, won't it? I'm looking forward to it too.
Jay, you're welcome! I hope it's useful for you.
Thanks a lot for the help Katherine, I hope it works :)
