Thank you JP, I'll take blanket forgiveness from whereever I can get it. Forgive me Forum for past transgressions and I'll try to do even better in the future! Thank you!

I much prefer the following method to bothering with tinyurl.  It only takes a few clicks.

1. Select some text that will be your link (e.g. click here to see...).

2. Click the "Insert Hyper link" toolbar button (Globe with document)

3. Where you see something like this:
   

[url]click here to see [/url]

change it to:
   

[url=http://MyLongURL.com]click here to see [/url]

That is, just add the equals sign and the URL. The final result will be like this:

  Click here to see me in the desert.

OK, I'll try that method also.  I knew given enough time we'd get a name to go with the face in the desert and the - - -

So Al, what kind of desert are you in? Lime jello? Some sort of pie?

Any web sites that make an URL longer?
