How do you include a link to a post?

The directions below are from the SlowTalk HELP pages, linked at the top of the message board.
quote:
To copy a URL of a website into a post:

Go to the web page that you want to link to. Click once in the address bar (where the URL for the page is displayed). The complete address is highlighted.
Put the cursor over the highlighted text, right click and select "copy". The text is placed in your clipboard.
Go to the message board and start your new message or reply. Move the cursor to where you want the URL, right click and select "paste". The contents of the clipboard are put into the message.
Note: You can copy and paste using the right click or shortcut CTRL characters. To copy to the clipboard, highlight the text, hold down the CTRL key and press C (copy). Release both. To paste from the clipboard, CTRL V (paste). This CTRL C and CRTL V work in most applications throughout windows.

Note: Instead of pasting directly into the post box, you can click the URL button on the post box, paste the link into the URL field and type text into the text field. This will display the linked text in the post.

Colleen, thanks for the instructions. I am attaching a link in this post to see if I did it correctly. The URL is not highlighted as I am typing. I assume it will be after I post.

Looks like I screwed up. I'll have to try again.

Here's another try but it's still not highlighted so you can open the link. Let's see how it looks after I post.

Success at last!!! The first time I opened URL on top of post screen and then hit paste. This time I went straight to the post and did CTRL V.

Using the URL box to make a link lets you Link Words instead of showing the complete URL which is sometimes nice.
