The Novice Blogger #2 - comments and links

This one took me for-EVAH to figure out. I actually went out and scoured the web looking for the answer.
(yes, like I put on my coat and grabbed an umbrella and went out to scour the web. The internet has obviously become a very real for me.)

How does one get their blog link to  show up in as a signature in comments?

See how below my name it says the name of my blog? That's a hyperlink to my blog. Just in case someone wants to come visit me, see who this weirdo commenter is.

I thought for sure there was some setting, but I could never find anything. Since signatures happen to be such an important thing for us bloggies, you would just think that Blogger would have some built-in widget that makes it all super easy. Not so much.

But it really isn't hard. Here's what you do.

When you are finished writing your comment and have signed your name, you copy and paste this into the comment:

<a href="http://peacocksandpenguins.blogspot.com/">Peacocks & Penguins</a>

But....don't leave it like that. Unless you want everyone to think my blog is yours. To fix that, you change peacocksandpenguins to your blog name. It breaks down like this:

<a href="http://peacocksandpenguins.blogspot.com/">Peacocks & Penguins</a>

The part in red should be your blog address. The part in blue is what you want the text to say.
And that is how you get a hyperlink to your blog in your signature in comments.

I keep the tag on a post-it on my desktop. That way I always have it available to copy and paste.

Just double check your work when you are done, so that if you ever need to go back and take a screen capture of one of your own comments for a blog post, you don't get something like this:

Ta-da!!
