How can I turn a long URL into a clickable link for my email signature?

Does anyone know how to make something like this:

http://s7ondemand5.scene7.com/s7ondemand/brochure/flash_brochure.jsp?stateid=1171804307x34102

look like this in an email:

view our catalog


Thanks

YES!You're going to type this, without the spaces before or after the <> characters.< a href="http://whateverthewebsiteis.com" >view our catalog< /a>Is that what you're needing? It'll work in your email signature or your newsletter, depending on the format of those things and the software you're using. That's the code, anyway. Just remove the spaces!

Thanks! I'll try that!

I'm "subscribed" to this thread - so if that doesn't work quite the way you need it to, let me know and I'll help you make it work.

YES!

It isn't working...

Do I leave the space after the first "a"? Do I leave the quotes in that you have in there? Also, the particular link I want to use has additional characters after the .com - could that be the problem?

THANKS!

Ok. I'm going to send you a response in regular email because it'll be easier than trying to do it here in the forum.

Thanks so much Jennifer for all your help! I now have the link to the catalog on my signature like I wanted.

My new thing learned for the day!
