Yes a sad day here in Canada and worldwide, a songwriting icon, listening to and playing his songs will feel very different now..

Absolutely! I think I will listen to them now more fully.

Say: How do you change the text of the link?
Seems like you can drop a link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0OWw8Hi-rU

And then edit the text for how you want it to appear, as you did in your post:

Hank Shizzoe & Sonny Landreth: Stagger Lee

Very Cool !
How does one do that?

Hello @operadude,

relatively simple, click the logo "insert URL", then insert the link from YT or any other link like this:

Code: Select all

[url=insert link here] Name Interpret - Title [/url]

I hope it is explained understandably.

Thanks for the reply.

Not sure I fully understand: I know how to use the "insert url" button. I'm just not sure how to get the text I want, as you say:

Name Interpret - Title

I'm not sure about how to get the "Name Interpret - Title" part.
Do I just type that in?

Is there an option when clicking the "insert url" button to get the fancy "Name Interpret -Title" part?

I guess I'll play around with it. If you could guide me on this, I would be grateful

'Well....I..I..I'll Be!!!...', to quote Gomer Pyle (old US TV show).

So my only question is: is there a way I can modify the "insert url" button above to give me this fancier option? As it is, when I press the button, all I get is "[url]" "[url]"

Looks like I could simply add an equals sign ("=") after the first "url", but inside the brackets, add my link, and then after the first set of brackets, enter the text I want.

Is that what you do?

Thanks again for your help!

@operadude

that's exactly how I do it. It worked perfectly for Allison Kraus & Union Station.

If you hold the cursor over the "insert url" button for a while, a hint text also shows you this function. The button only offers both functions together.

Sorry, the videos with actual video don't sound as good.

Another, but rather cheerful song by The Be Good Tanyas.

@wahnsinn
Sorry it took so long to get back to you!

So, I was hoping there was a button selection for the text option of the link button. Guess not.

It looks like the way to do this is by adding an equals ("=") sign and add the url link I want, all of that before the first end bracket ("]"), then after the first right bracket insert the text I want, which is before last bracketed "url", that has the forward slash.

I will try now:
Allison Krauss
Checking with "Preview" button....OK, got it!
Thanks again for your help!!!
