Here is the post that I referred to in my domestic diva part 2 post. It is from my sister Celia's blog.
A few more projects
One of the perks of being friends with creative people (beside the fact that they're just plain fun) is that I get to mooch off their great ideas and tweak it to my personal liking. Most of the crafts and projects I do come from something I've seen elsewhere. I may be a creator of sorts, but I surely am not an inventor.My friend Erin came up with a great idea of turning place mats into throw pillows. Kohl's had some great microfiber cloth place mats on sale, so I decided to follow her lead and make some of my own. It was a fun, easy little project and I was happy with the outcome. I made two of the dark brown pillows and just the one two toned harvest pillow. She gives basic instructions and the two things I'd add are:1. Notice the type of stitching the place mat has. The two toned had a double stitch and was a little harder to work with. Not so hard it couldn't be done, but it made it a little more unruly and added an extra step.2. When you go to sew the edge back up, pin it really well or it will slip and you'll have to redo the stitch because it didn't even catch the backing.

I must be bad at explaining how to link. Dang.
could you just write exactally what I need to write. I tried the full web address in the little < guys but that didn't work.
Are you leaving out the a href="" and the < /a> (after the link word)
part of it? You can't just put the web address alone inside the <>.
The problem with writing out exactly what you need is that it will then create the link and you won't see the code.
When you're writing a post, you have the option of writing in the compose mode or edit html mode. It is in the edit html mode that the < a href="URL starting with http://">link word< /a> is used. You also have to use that if you're posting a link in a comment because they don't have the link button for you.
Hopefully easy directions for linking while writing a post:
Inside a post, when using the link icon, you don't need the <> at all.
Before you go the post you're creating, go to the website you want to link.
1.Copy the URL web address you want to turn into a link by highlighting it with the cursor and right clicking. Hit copy.
2.Go to blogger and start writing your post.
3. When you get to the word you want to turn into a link,
4. Highlight it with the cursor.
5. Hit the little link symbol on the tool bar.
6. A box that says "Enter a URL" will come up.
7. Right click and paste the entire URL (starting with the http://blahblah) into the box. You do not need <> here at all. Just the url.
8. Hit ok.
Your link should be good to go.
haha Thanks for the detailed instructions. I will give it a try as soon as I get the kids to bed!
