DC - This is what you do: Once you've done it a few times, it's a piece of cake.
Say, you want to paste the url for an article e.g. the Bartholomew articlel.
You want to say that the article is about Black Magic. You copy the
complete url with the article reference, as you usually do in your posts,
as in the following example - note all the punctuation marks. If you
leave out any, it won't won't work. Here is a step by step example.
A. Begin by typing < Add a href with the space gap as shown here i.e. a href
but there should be no space between < and a so you will get a href immediately
after the <
Add =" immediately after href.
B. Enter the url of the article after the quotation marks
C, After the url put closing quotation marks i.e. "
D. After the closing quotation marks add >Black Magic< as I have done here.
The brackets must be as shown here.
E. Immediateky after >BlackMagic< type /a>
and you will get the direct link to the article e.g. James Bartholomew in the Telegraph
in your original post.
When you preview your post, you can always check to see if it leads
you to the link by pressing on the blue bit. If it does, press your
back button and it will take you to your original post. Now press
submit i.e 'post message# on this BB and hey presto, it's black magic.
There might be another way to do this, perhaps simpler and quicker one.
Skinny would know.

A simpler way is first copy and paste the url into MAMS link box, on the second entry type what you want to call it...... simples, preview post then post.,.

Well done, DC - perhaps better to give the source as well e.g.
