Yes, but if you use the WYSIWYG editor (which is very nice otherwise), it doesn't give you a prompt for text, only the URL. So I just switch back to standard editor for the few times I hyperlink.
*EDIT: Check out the much more computer savvy Feanor below... Thanks Fea!

Erm... back on topic... I plan to re-read starting with the Hobbit, thru LotR, the Sil, UT, and HoME. Also the Letters and TA Shippey's Author of the Century. And Beowulf. If I get those last three for Christmas, that is. Of course this is mostly to keep myself entertained after my (leg) surgery and I'm laying around with nothing to do, but I know I'll enjoy it.

You can still do it. What you do instead is type in whatever you want for a word to use as a link, say for instance "Click Me" and you highlight it. After it is highlighted, click the hyperlink thingamajig, and paste in your URL. Click "OK" and it'll turn your highlighted section into the hyperlink.

Good luck with the surgery. I hope everything is okay.

Maybe Eomer should try to learn humility...

Yes, or you could just learn to accept that there are nearly perfect people. I'm willing to have a little faith in Eomer's claim. After all, it is said that everyone has a twin somewhere in the world, which would mean, if it were applied to me, that there's another nearly perfect person somewhere out there- and how do you know that Eomer isn't my twin?

Here's my resolution- try to keep up with The Downs during the next three weeks (projects and tests, a billion of them).

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

An intriguing (and somewhat worrying) theory. (Well, worrying for the rest of you.)

And thanks for the link tips. Let's see if they are ever incorporated into my work.

New Year's Resolution:

Stop flying into a homicidal rage each time someone insults Liv Tyler.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Are you implying Lush, that for every time someone has insulted Lovely Liv, you have flown into a homicidal rage? There's not enough time.... (poor Liv)

I will certainly not refrain from shaking my head and rolling my eyes every time I hear someone call Denethor a pantomime villain. No matter how it may relax my associates.

[Maeggaladiel]

1) I will write enough (meaningful) posts to gain a personal title.

2) I will stop saying nasty words every time my computer decides it doesn't want to work while I'm trying to post.

3) I will try to post somewhere other than Middle Earth Mirth. *looks around* Hey! One down, two to go!

4) I will change my signature. Eventually. Once I come up with something good.


Other than that, how could one possibly perfect the Magnificent Maeggaladiel any more? (Other than decrease the size of her massive ego, that is.) On second thought, don't answer that.
