    It is not good practice to put Click Here when setting up a clickable link.

    Much better to put the name of what it is, such as BBC News, or show the entire URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ .

    You can change where I typed money saving expert to whatever you want, so if you want it to say 'here', just type that instead.

    You can preview your post to see what it would look like, so no need to post every attempt. Once you get the hang of it, it's really very simple!

    I am trying to get my head round why anyone would want to write the words either "click here" or even "here" which might suggest a condescending way of saying the person reading isn't aware that a highlighted word/url in a different colour, leads directly to the chosen link. Or is it that I am missing the point?, if so, I'd like to understand the reasoning behind it.

    I do sometimes use it if the link is one of those with a long query string just to make it look more friendly.

    I still can't figure out if the OP is asking about web pages and html or the way to insert links in this forum. If it's the latter the tutorial in post #9 by bod1467 covered it very well.

    I am asking how to put a click here from a webpage but the shortened version as others have said is better.
    I think its one of those things that when you watch someone doing it you then know how to do it.
    I really am not this thick but it for sure looks like i am.Sorry.

    What Gunjack posted on post 17 is what i want to do.
