How to post a url link

In the comments to the Joke of the Day thread someone has posted the following link, which is cut-off due to the width of the space for comments:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jan/31/endangeredhabitats.carbonemissions

It is much easier to embed the link into a posting, such as this example.

To do so use < to start, then a href="url_here" then > the word you want to highlight and then < /a > to close the comment. Obviously delete the spaces and extraneous words which I can't replicate without the instructions disappearing and this post being rejected, but there should be no spaces in the text between the <> except at a href which does require a space.

Badly composed links will be rejected by Blogger, so persistence is the key. The preview can also sometimes be difficult to read.

    It's a disgrace, that's what it is. We are inflicted with an SNP government, but still website addresses fail. Like their administration. Broken promises = broken urls. No turbines = no websites addresses that work. Did you expect anything different?

    I pose the question again: name 5 website addresses that Angus Brendan MacNeill has managed to fix since being elected? Shambles. Vote Monster Raving Loony party in 2009. Pass me my straight jacket now; it's on the hanger below the framed picture of Gordon Brown in my padded cell.
