Replace URL with the link, the quotes are required, and 'target string' with something relevant.

Like, for URL ------- http://www.backpackinglight.com and for 'target string' -----BPL
It would look like this -

Edit: suggested on 10/15/09 - the BPL Post mechanism does not handle an @ sign in the URL, e.g. used by Flickr in a Group Name, but you can get around this by replacing the @ symbol with %40

I used tyvek for making a shelter and a bivy This photo shows its weakness You must seamstich and stiching tyvek I think. So it’s much stronger Did some tests Now i’m only use silnylon for making shelters
I filled my ‘la fayette’ (Valandré) with a extra 100 gram down I used this homemade gear Then I blow the down into the bag with my breath test photo for new post I made a copy of the trailstar. My manner to forming the peak: Before I made the last seam to close the shelter, I laminated the insite with a second layer of silnylon. After closing the shelter, I reinforced the in- and outsite of the top with a circle of silnylon which was folded into a cone and again laminated with silicone.

First, apology for my poor knowledge of the English language. therefore, my comments will be limited I need your thoughts I did a little test with two types of goose down. The first came from les ateliers de lastour.
He is also the supplier for Valandre.
Ik used the ‘duvet d’oies grises du Périgord 95/05 réf 021000LD de 750 à 820 cuin.
The second is the 900 fill power white goose down van Thru-hiker
In both cases I did 20 grams down in a large glass tube. I kept the tube horizontally when I shake the down to move freely. Then I put the tube vertically.
The loft of the two products seems remarkably similar About 59 cm for the ‘duvet d’oies grises du Périgord 95/05 réf 021000LD de 750 à 820 cuin
And 61 cm for the thru-hiker stuff
The loft of the two products seems remarkably similar but the puff of thru hiker is much easier compressible. For testing, I used a PU foam disc (37 gram) to compress te down clusters 37 cm for the duvet d’oies grises du Périgord 95/05
and 28 cm for the 900 fill power white goose down
 | | Van donstest |
The clusters of the French down d'Oies grises du Perigord 95/05 looks more robust but seem much less uniform than the down clusters of the 900 fill power white goose down. More featers can be found in the French down while thy barely be found in the white goose down. The air spaces between the gray goose down are much larger while the white goose down has a more compact look. I have the impression that the small feathers also give much more structure and support to the down clusters than when they were absent. This perhaps explains, i think, why the fluff Thru-hike much less resistant to pressure. It must be said that the thru-hiker down have a much smoother look. What is the impact on the insulation, I have no idea. You will probably have different values if you take a wider tube or down the column is lower because the down clusters also cause pressure on the lateral wall of the dome allowing the free movement of the clusters down in the vertical direction are slowed down somewhat. Can we make conclusions? More on my blog

Greg to the rescue!!!! You saved me once before =) I had a little cheat sheet taped to my old monitor for when I came to BPL to make a post. This site is the only one that I use html. My old monitor disappeared along with my cheat sheet. I googles html and tried to follow their instructions and failed somewhere. I'll use your instructions and give it a whirl. Here we go!!!!

Sorry, I forgot that you can't show hyperlink code on a webpage...it just disappears. Take a look at the OP hyperlink code again:

See the "BPL" text? After it you have to put in the symbols you see after "BPL" in the image above. Also, Just before "Redgum" and ">" you don't have an apostrophe to close the statement. Without the apostrophe the link that you wrote cannot be read.
Edit. Great! Happy Linking!

Putting Hyperlinks in Forum Postings at BPL
on 04/10/2010 10:44:49 MDT
|
|
|
From time to time, someone asks how to put a hyperlink in a posting. I am no HTML guy, but thought I would share a couple of things I have learned about about posting at BPL. (Suggestions for improving this post are welcome.)
Example of the source for a hyperlink:
<a href="http://www.backpackinglight.com">BPL</a>
The same hyperlink, live: BPL
To create your own hyperlink, just: - replace "http://www.backpackinglight.com" with your own URL (the quotation marks are required)
- replace "BPL" with whatever text string you want to appear in your posting
- include the result in your posting
The BPL posting mechanism does not handle an "@" sign in URLs, such as Flickr URLs. You can get around that by replacing the "@" with "%40". (Thanks, Kerry Rodgers.)
=========================================================
Handling long URLs -- use tinyurl
You cannot (successfully) handle very long URLs this way (a BPL software limitation?). The solution is to use http://tinyurl.com/ to create a shorter, but equivalent, URL.- Go to http://tinyurl.com/
- Enter the long (i.e. real) URL and click the button
- Choose one of the two choices it gives you (direct, or preview). Use that URL in place of the original (long) URL.
I wish I could quantify how long is too long, but I can't. If anyone knows, please chime in and I'll modify this post to reflect that.
=========================================================
Referring to a specific post in a thread
The easiest way to get the URL for a specific post is to click on a link that takes you directly to that post. The URL the browser shows will then be the correct one.
Otherwise, you need to construct the correct URL. To do that, you need two things: 1) The ID of the specific post 2) The URL of the thread that post is in
Getting a specific post's ID The ID of a specific post appears to be an overall sequence number for postings. Adjacent postings in the same thread will not necessarily have adjacent, or even close, IDs. The best way to find the ID of the specific post is to get it from the page's HTML:
- Look at the page's HTML source, such as by using one of the following ways:
- Choose View Page Source from the right-mouse menu
- Select from just before the post to within the post, and then choose View Selection Source from the right-mouse menu
- In the source, find the post you want to refer to, such as by searching for some of its text
- Look back (up) at the post's heading for a line like </table><a name="97772"></a>
- The digits after name= are the post's ID, in this case 97772
Forming the specific post's URL Look at the URL from the browser. The part after "forum_thread_id=" is the interesting part. Depending on how you got to the page, it will look something like one of the following:
- forum_thread_id=13314&startat=20
- forum_thread_id=13314&disable_pagination=1
- forum_thread_id=13314&skip_to_post=264865#264865
The first number after "forum_thread_id=", 13314 in this case, is the thread ID. To create the specific post's URL:- take the URL from the browser
- replace everything from the "&" after the thread ID with "&skip_to_post=97772#97772", where "97772" is the ID of the specific post
In this example, that would be:
<first part of the URL>forum_thread_id=13314&skip_to_post=97772#97772
As an example, the link to Kerry Rodgers' post earlier in this post was done that way -- his post's URL is http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=13314&skip_to_post=204575#204575.
Always test your URL after posting it
Enjoy!

Sorry Greg -- my bad -- I knew it was in "test", but forgot it is in your thread.
(Later) It was work-in-progress. I have now completed it. My intent is to: 1) show the URL example without needing an image 2) show how to construct a URL for a specific post 3) mention the need to use tinyurl at times

I have often thought that the facts about putting a hyperlink in a posting should be collected in a single place. I have fixed my earlier posting to do that.
The posting now includes: *) Making a basic hyperlink (redundant with several other postings) *) Using tinyurl so that long URLs will work *) How to reference a specific posting in a thread (such as I just did at the start of this posting)
The last of those is something I have not seen documented in another posting. It often requires looking at the source HTML. I hope that is not too off-putting. I hope that my directions are clear.
If anyone has suggestions for improving the posting -- corrections, pointing out something confusing or unclear, a way to make any of the information more accessible, other information that should be included there, etc please let me know.
Thanks, Bob
