Hi, I want to customize my site a little bit and with all these great posts and the totorials I got pretty far, but what I could not find by searching through the forums is how to change a link in your gallery description so that it is presented like this (http://www.penguinphotos.net) . Exchanging the webaddress for a word. Is that called hyperlink? Excuse my igonorance.

If you look at this page: http://www.penguinphotos.net/gallery/4631110_h7Gbq/1/316965447_jYhXC

In the description it says "...please visit this gallery (and then the webadress)..."
I want the webadress in the word "gallery", so visitors just have to click on the word "gallery" and do not see this long link.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!!

You need the <html> tag in the description to tell Smugmug to leave your HTML tags alone.

The proper form of a link tag is this:

<a href="put your link here">Put your text here that shows as the link</a>

You were missing the close quote on the href, the close > on the <a> link and you didn't have the text you wanted to show as the link between the <a> and </a> tags.
