I'm posting an ad on ebay. I have figured out how to post the pictures with HTML using photobucket.

Is there some magic in Word or something that will allow me to copy and paste text with the HTML code? <br>like this<br>

So I can just write it, copy and paste, without being a HTML genius?

I have no idea what you can do with Word. I haven't used it since I discovered OpenOffice.

But if you want an HTML link, that's easy enough to do. Are you trying to link a piece of text to an image hosted elsewhere?

Assuming that is the case, it would be:

HTML: 
<a href="absolute path to image, including http:// etc." target="_blank">the text you want</a>
So, for example (using an image on one of my servers as an example):

HTML: 
<a href=" http://www.bigoldsoapbox.com/Images/screenshots/soapbox_ss100912.jpg" target="_blank">sample picture</a>

The "target="_blank"" just opens the linked image in a new window / tab.

You can do the last line this way:

HTML: 
Log Books Here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2PbIHcdLMwVQ1VsTTM2SElMSk0/edit" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2PbIHcdLMwVQ1VsTTM2SElMSk0/edit</a>
or this way:

HTML: 
Log Books <a href="https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2PbIHcdLMwVQ1VsTTM2SElMSk0/edit" target="_blank">Here</a>.
The first will render the last line as you posted it, with the entire link visible and linked to your log books. The second will link your logbooks from the word "Here."

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

As for the rest of it, copy it from the post, paste it into Notepad, and then copy and paste it from Notepad into eBay. That will strip whatever markup Word uses these days.

Again, it's been more than a decade since I used Word, so that's the best I can say on that part of the question.

Rich,

Thanks for the help. Will get right on it after my swim in the morning. I've always wanted to learn HTML.

Best,
Karl
 
Copy everything below the dotted line and paste where you want it.

That would be Bogert rather than Bogart, one is an STC'd component, the other is a dead actor.
 
Easy enough typo to make. I bought a Bogert battery box this year so just happened to notice it. No big deal.
