When you create a link on your blog you have to include “http://” before the web address. Yes, you use URL tags as you would here on the forum.

finished with

if you check my blog its exactly like that and the link is to a topic in the cgtalk wip section

It looks like your link is being re-written with “&” instead of “&” in the URL.
To get around this I would suggest using THREAD instead of URL, for links that point to the forum.

For example:
[ THREAD=895836]here is my link[ /THREAD]

Kirt im sorry for wasting your time :frowning: but still not working.

Check my blog pls.

1st try link:
I did what was suggested and goes to an error 404 page.

2nd try link:
Even if i copy paste the exact link to the text blog box and the if i go to the my portfolio - blog and copy again that link and paste it in the browser it doesnt go to the forum topic.

I visited others porfolio blog and actually didnt find anyone who had an hyperlink. People just copy paste or write something like www.3dsite.com.
Shouldnt it be easier to creat hyperlinks there? After all its a blog.
Would be great to see features just like when we post in the forums.

Cheers and thank you for your patiente.
