For the first time ever, screw-capped Grand Cru wine from Alsace will be sold commercially in major markets, including the UK, said Alsatian winemaker Frederic Blanck of the well-known Domaine Paul Blanck in Kientzheim.

Bit old now, but an interesting story.

Good news, Neil.
Here's what I do:
Copy url
Click on URL tag at upper right.
Insert = sign just before ] -- no spaces.
Paste or Control C url after = sign.
After ] type your descriptor -- anything you want.
Highlight descriptor and make it Bold -- top left B.
Click on URL box at top right.
Preview or Submit -- I usually Submiet and edit if I screwed up -- rarely now -- usually because there is a blank space somewhere.
Regards, Bob

Bob, it's for making a pretty link. For example, I could post my link like this:
http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/Infocenter/i3370id.html
or like this:
Red Tailed Hawk.
Both would link to a page on that wonderful bird, but the second link looks nicer.
Regards, Bob
