Congratulations on your award! Good to get to know you better.
Thank you for the award. I'll have to see how many of the rules I can bre.., ahem, follow:)
Thanks for the award. I put up a long overdue post about some awards I have received, including the one you bestowed upon my blog. I am acknowledging the bloggers who gave out the awards on today's post, but I'm choosing not to go through the steps... I guess I am NOT deserving ;-)
Congrats on your award!
Thanks Grey Horse, I look forward to getting to know you better!
It's okay to break the rules, and to not formally accept/play along. Honestly. I would imagine after receiving multiples, awards lose meaning and become nothing more then a hassle. I don't have that problem lol, so for me - it's an honor!
Thank you so much sweetie for thinking of me and my little ole blog! I am honored! :) However...I don't know how to do a link. If you can help me, I'll do my best to play along.
You got it sista!! I am on a Mac, so it might be a tiny bit different on a PC. It also depends on what version of pretty much everything on our ever evolving computers!
Steps to create a link:
1) Copy the webpage address (called a URL) that you want to make a link to.
It can be found near the top of the web browser window. To copy a web page address it has to be highlighted (typically it turns blue).
Click on the address with your mouse, or put your mouse curser at the beginning to hold and drag over the entire address.
One key thing to know is a you have to copy the WHOLE web address.
Before release the mouse, right click. Keep holding the mouse and go down to "Copy" once that word is highlighted, release. Go to Step 2. You can also copy a highlighted address by using keyboard commands (Ctrl + C)
2) Paste the webpage address that you want to make a link to on your blog.
While you are creating/editing your blog post, highlight the words you want to link. With the words highlighted, click on the word "Link" in your toolbox. On mine it is to the left of the "add a photo" button.
Paste the address in the designated Web Address field. My mouse cursor automatically shows up in the field, put it there if yours doesn't. Right click and go down to "Paste" or keyboard commands (Ctrl + V). Click the "Okay" button.
Another key thing to know is a link won't work until it is live/published. In Blogger the default underlines the linked words. You can't test it until after you have published.
Notice how web address's change depending on what web page you are on. In Blogger they auto include the title of the post. Unless you want to link to a specific post/page, you may want the main blog address? Mine is:
http://equineexpressions.blogspot.com/
Yours is:
http://cingspots.blogspot.com/
Blogger has coded to not show the "http://" beginning of every webpage address, but once you paste it will show up (it is needed).
Copy/Pasting web links is similar in other computer programs.
Hope this helps!! Does your head hurt yet? It sounds complicated, but it isn't once you learn how. I've always believed "we only know what we know". You can't fault someone for what they don't know, instead you teach them :) Feel free to ask here/email me if something doesn't make sense.
Thanks for thinking of me. I don't do awards but I appreciate that you thought my blog was worthy!
Aw thanks for the "Vote for MEEEEE!" push :)
Nice to get to know you better too.
