type [url=

then put the web link

then put ]

then write what you want to call it ('clicky HERE' seems a favourite)

then close the link with the [] with /url in it

Indeed it does but it only makes sense to me now I can do it. Previously it was just a random selection of letters although with more u's and t's than most :smt009
