How do I "Link Up?"

At the bottom of each post here is a snippet of code to link up. In case it intimidated you, here's how to use it.

<a href="url">text</a>

This is the code.

1. Copy and paste the code into your comment.
Should be straightforward enough.

2. Go to your post and copy its url.
Be sure that you've got the url of the post, not the entire blog. If you're confused, the url for your post is a lot longer than the whole blog. A blog url looks like this:

https://sol-logan-2018.blogspot.com/

While a post url looks like this:

https://sol-logan-2018.blogspot.com/2018/05/may-2.html

3. Go to the comment. Delete the word url. Be sure NOT to delete the quotation marks. Paste your post url in between the quotation marks.

4. Delete the word text. Again, do NOT delete the alligator mouths.
In place of the word text, write the title of your post.

Your comment should look like this (but obviously with your URL and post title):
<a href="https://sol-logan-2018.blogspot.com/2018/05/may-2.html">Test Post</a>

5. Hit "Publish"
If it worked, it'll look like this:

Test Post

When you click it, it should take you to your post.

If you're still having trouble, go ask a classmate or friend, and if all else fails, find someone who's done this before or a kid in Max's class.
