Changing a URL link name in your post
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:42 am
I don't know if this is common knowledge on here or not, so I thought I'd share with you guys how to change a URL link name in your post to just say the name of the media you're sharing.
When you typically share a link in a post, it looks like this:
In order to change the name of the link, put an equal sign after "url" in the part of the link that says [url]. After the equal sign, put the normal URL. It should look like this:
Once you've done that, just type in the name of the media you're sharing after the closing bracket in the above example I just gave:
After all that, just make sure that [ / u r l ] (without the spaces) is at the end of the link. The final result should look like this (again, without the spaces):
Here's the link without spaces:
Keep in mind that you can put whatever name you want in the link (where I put "Old Astro Boy opening" in the above example), so if you want to give many examples in a sentence like this...
...you can insert the links around each example, like this:
I'm sure many of you know this already, but I thought I'd share it for those that didn't know before. If there's something I should fix or add in this post, let me know.
Otherwise, I hope this is helpful!

I like the 1963 opening, 1980 opening, and first 2003 opening.
