Robert, we don't use URLs within the trip reports. Instead we have broken them out into their own section entitled "Web Resources." You can acess this section two different ways. The first, from this screen. This is the screen you see when you select, "My Trip Reports" Under the name of your report, in this case "Testing Again", you see "Edit Links and Photo Albums." Click that.

Next you'll see a screen that will list any photo albums or web resources already attached to your report. In this case, since there are none, you see the screen below. Click, "Add New."

Now you'll see the screen below. Enter the English Name of the web resource (e.g., SlowTalk, Amazaon, etc.) next to "Name." Enter the URL of the web resource next to "Address." Remember, do NOT include the HTML preface, start with what comes after the slashes (e.g., www.slowtalk.com). If you're linking to a photo album, change the indicator from "no" to "Yes." When you're done, click "Add."

The second way to access this series of screens, instead of from the Edit page, is while you're editing an individual page of your trip report. To the right, where it says "Resources/Photos" click on the link underneath, "Click to Add or Edit Web Resources..." That will initiate the same sequence of screens as above.

This will create a nice, neat, clickable list of web resources to the right of your text. You can refer readers to it from your text. To see an example of how the finished product looks, check out Monica's Trip Report. You can see how the linked photo albums and web resources are separated and everything is neatly listed on the right hand side of the page.
