I was asked recently how to do the links I have in my sig, I made a little guide and PMed it. But after looking at it just now, I thought that it would be a waste not to make it public so here it is! (I did a quick search and saw there was already a guide that showed how to add links to pics, but I was asked how to add word links and just added the pic link guide because it is a direct copy and paste of my PM near enough
)
Word Link
[a href=http://www.the-link-itself-here.com/ rel="nofollow" target="_blank"]What you want the linking word to be goes here[/a]
Pic Link
[a href=http://www.the-link-itself-here.com/ target="_blank"][img src=http://www.link-to-the-image-here.jpg border="0" alt="Whatever you put in here will appear when you hover over the pic"][/a]
But you have to change the [ and ] to < and > respectively. And as long as you only change the text I have coloured, it all should work.
Hope this helps ^_^
