Ok, I will try to do this slightly different this time. I will do it in steps. You must include all punctuation or it won't work.

1. First step is the opening tag. You start this by using the < symbol. Then type A HREF= after it. It should look like this - <A HREF=

2. Second is to add the address/URL of the site you want the person to go to when they click. You start and end this with quotes. You must also include http:// before the URL also. It will look like this "http://www.offroad.com"

3. Then you finish the opening tag by ending it with a > symbol. The whole thing will look like this

4. Next put the text (or picture but I'll get into that later) that you want to be clickable. This can be anything you want and will look something like this. <A HREF="http://www.offroad.com">CLICK HERE

5. Finally, you add the closing tag. This tells the computer to stop making the text clickable from that point on. It starts with a < symbol has /A in the middle and ends with a > symbol. It will look like this


5. The whole thing should look like this when you are finished. CLICK HERE

If you want to make a picture clickable instead of text (or in addition to text) you just replace the CLICK HERE text in the above example with instructions to tell the computer where to find the image you want to use. It will look like this
Image


That's it!!! Hope that made it a little easier to understand.

BTW, each of these commands has various options that you can add but this will get you started. If you want to learn more, there are some great tutorials on the web for basic HTML programming.

For some reason, some people have trouble with HTML in their sigs. I don't have an explanation for it (it should work for everyone). Your syntax is correct and everything. The only thing I can think of is get rid of the brackets underneath your name (I think it is trying to use them as HTML or something). Eliminate those and see what you get (try the test board and I will check sometime tommorow).
