Hi Paulette - These are some instructions I wrote a while back - hope they still work!

"Its really easy to do, I've done a mini tutorial for anyone who wants to know how to do it, hope you don't mind  

Firstly, find the pic, click it with your right mouse button and scroll down to 'Properties'. View the link tommorrow to see what I mean:

Then, drag your mouse over the URL, right click and press copy OR press ctrl C to copy it.

Then go onto COL, and click the little picture icon and paste the code (either right click paste or click ctrl v) inbetween the img codes, like this:

Viola! (is that how you spell it?!) Your done!


Hmm, I said mini-tutorial, its turned out like an essay and looks far harder than it is. Sorry about that!!

Hope that helps!

Holly"

He's gorgeous, bless him.  :luv: Hope he finds his new forever home soon.
One thing I find with Copying and pasteing is that I have to keep the window open that I'm copying from as well as where I'm pasteing to as otherwise it wont do it. I use the Help option on my computer and then open the other page, so both are open at the same time. This seems to work for me anyway.  ;)

I have a Mac computer and paste in a different way (I think) to Windows.
1. Go to the page you want to paste.
2. Highlight the address (it starts http:/www)
3. Go to Edit and press copy.
4. De-highlight the page
5. Open another window on the page you want to paste on
6. Finish writing whatever you are doing and then go to where you want link to appear. Go to Edit again and paste.
Hey presto - done.
When you have finished it won't appear as an active link but on the preview it will!  :005: (if that makes sense) ;)
I am aware that this may seem long winded, but in reality, it doesn't take very long at all - honest. ;)
