Sandra how do you post just the post and not the page to the link?

How to Hyperlink to a Specific Post

Do you want add a hyperlink from your ~ Reading Goals ~ Folder to your post in a challenge? (This folder may have a different name, depending on which group you post in.) Here’s how:

1. Once you set up your folder, click on the “some html is ok” look-up at the top of the comment box and follow the Link directions.

2. You want to copy the following from the look-up

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com">my link text</a>

3. Replace the section of html code (in-between the two quotation marks - made bold in the example above above) with the post's link.

4. You can copy that by placing your cursor on the "post's time stamp" (for lack of a better term) located in the beige bar to the far right.

5. On the drop down menu, use your right-mouse-click button on “Copy shortcut” and copy link location.

6. Next, change the “my link text” to what you want (such as the name of the challenge).

<a href=" http://www.goodreads.com"> my link text </a>

Example:
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7... Post #6

Result:
Dawn's Post #6

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Updated Post #6 now 13/26

It seems I like to read books by the authors with the same initials LOL

[Darcy]

I think it is funny what letters turn out to be hard ones to find. For me it was G, you would think it would be easy, but I was down to just 2, G and U. Surprised me.

[Jessica]

Update to post #18: 8/26

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

U is always my hardest letter. This time I'm going for a classic Aussie re-read, so it's all good.

Off to update everyone :)

Both. I striked through the ones I read & the rest are what I will read.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yay Jessi! Off to update you :)

[Lisa Kay]

I've got some holds at the library for some of the harder letters... I just have to drive there. Which means tearing myself away from GoodReads, LOL!

[Rebekah]

I'm going to try to complete this challenge. I tried the brotherhood one last year but fell behind towards the end. I stopped keeping track of the books I was reading. My Bad. We'll see if I can do better this year.

Im currently reading Brook, Meljean.
