This line has to be surrounded by a less than sign (shift+,) on the left and a greater than sign (shift+.) on the right. What ever text comes after this will link to the site defined in the tag. To stope end you type:
/a
Again this needs to be surrounded by the less than sign and greater than sign. I can''t type it or it will disappear (because it will be an HTML tag
) Well, hope you understand. This has been my mini HTML lesson for today.

Hey, there was no offence intended. I thought everyone on these places knew HTML these days. Either way, scout958 posted the details.

...the article in this case is all very true, but also pretty damn obvious if you think about it. It boils down to, "players do what they believe will benefit them the most". It just happens to go a bit deeper into the details than perhaps a lot of people tend to.
