Here's the messy part of making your link active:
<a href="URL">Text</a>
- Copy and paste the above into your blog where you want the link to become active.
- Highlight the "URL" and copy your destination address in it's place.
- Highlight Text and type in the text you want people to click on for your link.
For Example the Google Blog Search link you clicked on was made like this:
<a href="http://blogsearch.google.com/">Google Blog Search</a>
