Linking from an icon in Hoocoodanode

Here is a some basic HTML for creating a linked icon in the Calculated Risk comment system (Hoocoodanode).

An HTML link is created using the anchor tag:

<a href="http://www.calculatedriskblog.com">Linked Text</a>

The target of the link is specified using the href parameter. It is usually best to copy the target URL from your web browser address bar so you don't mistype it.

To attach the link to an icon, simply replace the "Linked Text" part with one of the many textual smileys, like :rant:, :wine:, or :coffee:.

Here is a complete example, linking from the coffee icon:

<a href="http://www.calculatedriskblog.com">:coffee:</a>

Note that many web pages you may want to link to have long URLs with many variables. Make sure you copy the complete URL into the href parameter and surround it with double quotes as shown.
