You're a wicked nice guy and all, but learn how to link, will ya? Don't just post the whole long URL. Use them little brackety href tag things. Okbye.

Sock Puppet, I think I need a tutorial! I've tried to do that and for some reason it doesn't work for me -- it just shows up as blank space. (I can't figure it out on my own blog, either, using WordPress.) I'll have to try again -- I know it looks tacky.

The *easiest* way here at UHub is just to use the buttons above the comment box. The leftmost one with the world and a few links of chain should pop-up a small box where you paste the link in the top input and what you want to have highlighted in the bottom.

The non-wizard way is to type it as the following:

<a href="http://yourlinkhere.com">This is my link.</a>

Type that and it'll work.

Now to upgrade the "how to" section here and, um, place a link to it where people can actually find it.

Well, one of the first things you could do is look up at that little row of buttons above the box you type these things in. See that one that looks kind of like a globe with a mobius strip on it? Click that.

Or you could go the page that is referred to below this box to look into it.

Or, if you can remember it, just typing in the codes is easy. There's always an open and a close. The close is the same code as the open, but prefaced by a backslash (\). The codes are enclosed by pointy brackets (<>).

For a link, the code is "a href." Now, if I enclose that in pointy brackets here, it's going to disappear, because... it's a code. So I can't do that. Now here's how one of your links might be typed in (substituting parentheses for pointy brackets so you can see it):

(a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/ar...")Game Story:(/a href)

There are four parts to this: the open code, the link, the text, and the close code. If you take that whole thing and replace all the parentheses with pointy brackets, it comes out looking like this:

Now you try!

Hehe, but *I* can. :)

Looks like I should also do a tutorial in character entities. ;)

Once again you have shown me up with your dark wizardry.

I'll be back!

For some reason the left hand button function isn't working for me. I've tried it several times -- paste link into top space, write short description into bottom one.

I'll have to work on this one...

I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again: I live and die with the Celtics. I was born just a month before they won their first championship and I bleed green.

Having said that, WOW! I was slightly disappointed to be on the losing side last night, but what an amazing game!

Shaughnessy said something to the effect that, if this were an NBA Finals series, it would be in the conversation as the best series of all time. In the conversation?!? In my very humble opinion, it would be the hands-down most-talked-about series in the history of the sport.

Whoever wins this thing - and I wouldn't rule out it being the Bulls, despite home court for the C's in the seventh game - BOTH teams deserve a rousing standing O from the fans.

Yup, I'm beat after watching last night's game, and I'm just a casual fan. Suldog, you must be a wreck.

It was just by chance that I decided that I'd start watching this series and see if it was worth following. I've been a Bulls fan for years but frankly didn't expect them to put up much of a fight against even a Garnett-less Celtic team.

Well, I'm now starting to question all my putdowns of the modern NBA. If these guys are any indication, there are some great team players in the league among the prima donnas.

Cs fans have every reason to be proud of their team. They are playing with relentless resilience, and guys like Rondo and Big Baby have entered a different zone of their careers. They could win tomorrow and advance at least another round on sheer determination alone. And if this team returns largely intact next year, with a healthy Garnett and Powe and maybe another bench player or two, watch out, because the Big Three have at least one good run left in them.
