"Hot-link/Blue link" help ...

I am drafting an email in which I want to put a hot-link (blue link) to a online music video ... (example: "Here ... I think you will enjoy this" as a blue link; but I haven't the slightest idea how to do it.

Please give me step by step instructions (BTW, my next request will be step by step instructions on how to program my TiVo ... I am that much behind the technological times).

Thanks.

if you were writing raw html it would like like this though:

<a href="http://website.org/rest/of/url">Here ... I think you will enjoy this</a>

...that you want to show as the blue link and then click on 'insert link' and paste the URL into the provided box.

Hope this makes sense.

Edited to add: 'insert link' is somewhere down by 'insert attachment' depending on what browser and mail client you are using.

I'll try it when I get home.

If you hear, read about, a loud explosion in the SW US ... you'll know it didn't work for me!
