Tina Turner's awesome "One of the Living"

OK I gotta ask: How are you guys getting the actual names and titles to show up? All I get is the string of internet randomness.

Hit the picture of the link and then copy and paste your link into the field that appears. Once you do that then you will next have an option to type in whatever you want to describe the link and you can type in the singer and the title.

Nope. It's not happening. No link appears

Much sadness

This is when I wish I could call you up on the phone. Did you try putting the brownie down as you were typing?

In all seriousness, the link button should be to the right of the italics button when you're typing up your post.

Tim Hortons Brownie taste test

The description is put between brackets followed by a space followed by the copied link in parenthesis. That's what it should look like to post correctly.

Or use the link button. Or have imaginary Lemons do it for you.

Tim, do the following steps. Referring to the video link that I posted for the Tina Turner video, how I did my message was:

The part that's just regular black print is normal "as is" typing. However, regarding the song title, that I put in quotations and made into a clickable link, I put "One of the Living" within brackets, in other words a [ and a ]. The open-bracket (first bracket) should IMMEDIATELY precede whatever you title your link, and the close-bracket (second bracket) should IMMEDIATELy follow that title - in other words no gap space.

Then, after you have put ["One of the Living"] within brackets like I did on this line I'm typing right here, add a blank space following the close-bracket, then type an open-parenthesis - in other words a ( - copy and paste the video url to IMMEDIATELY follow it, then IMMEDIATELY follow that url with a close-parenthesis - in other words a ). The end result will be like follows:

It's super-easy (though I probably made it sound complicated in the explanation). Really the only things you're doing is typing whatever you want to name your link, put that flush within a set of brackets, insert a blank space, then an open-parenthesis, then copy/paste the video's actual url, immediately follow that with a close-parenthesis, and you'll be good to go.

Hey! It worked...who knew?

Nope...spoke too soon.

Always double check your post. It took me a while to get working right. I looked at your link with the quote function. The only thing that belongs between the parenthesis is the actual link. For some reason you had an extra "Peggy Lee Fever" in there. Try again. Good luck.
