Can't get the link to your tutorial to work. Does it work for anyone else?

hearthandmade 03/10/2011 #

Thanks hun. I wish I could do that. Does anyone want to pm me with instructions?

lorepuckett 03/12/2011 #

No worries, I'll try and explain how to do it here so everyone can see and learn how. ;)

Here's what you do, put the word you want made clickable in brackets and the actual url immediately following that in parenthesis. No spaces between the brackets and parenthesis. Here's an example, just do it without spaces:

[ here ] (http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2006/12/purse_frames _de.html)

Your original link somehow had the word 'frames' in italics and I think that's why it wasn't working. Come to think of it, it might have been interfering with the markdown syntax code that swap-bot uses, DOH! ;) I hope I explained it correctly.

hearthandmade 03/24/2011 #

i want to make sure it is ok for everyone (i pm'ed hearthandmade as well and she thought it was a great idea) but i don't want anyone to be dissapointed :)

I can't sew ... i don't have sewing machine yet and that's why i asked her if i could crochet one :) she thought is was wonderfull and i hope you all think the same and that the one i am partnered to (so to speak) loves is as well :)
