Hello-

I am trying to add the following text to my homepage to encourage back links:

If you find this site useful and would like to link to this page so that others can find it, simply copy the following text into your web page:

<a href="http://www.virtual-wine-guide.com">Virtual Wine Guide</a>

my problem is that the line I am asking people to copy is showing up as an actual link to my homepage rather than the text above. I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple. Can someone let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

One way you can do it is with a box. I think you would code it something like this:

<textarea rows="4" cols="44">
<a href="http://www.virtual-wine-guide.com/">Virtual Wine Guide</a> ? Then you can enter some anchor text description here if you like.
</textarea>

You can check out this page to see what it would look like:

Good luck,

Alternatively, instead of using an actual "<" bracket to open your tags, use & l t ; (without spaces - I just put those in to stop it displaying as a < on here!)

Example: & lt;a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo& lt;/a>
