The only problem with your Vess link is the ampersand between the angle bracket and the a at the front. It should start "<a href" (and I'd finish the sentence with a period).

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Just did it and no dice.

That's weird. I put URLs in my posts all the time. Oh, you know, when you go to edit, is there a linebreak after "website"? Delete the invisible linebreak and see if it works that way.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

There isn't any linebreak.

[mjlayman.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm going to take it as is and put it here:
Charle's Vess' website Greenman Press (http://www.greenmanpress.com/home.html)

The only different way I would do it (and I would have said this was individual choice, but maybe not) is to snug Charles (hmm, and spell it right), up to the >. Let's see, I'll c&p it again and delete that space:

Charles Vess' website Greenman Press (http://www.greenmanpress.com/home.html)

[mjlayman.livejournal.com]

They're both showing up fine here, so that is an individual choice.

Okay, next test: I'll c&p your line into a test post on my LJ.

[mjlayman.livejournal.com]

Nope, that works fine. See here (http://mjlayman.livejournal.com/119059.html).

Are you sure that in the edit box there isn't a linebreak? It doesn't show up with one line ending at website and the rest on the next line?

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

I have to get someone over here to show me what I'm doing wrong. THanks for tryhing Marilee.

I just looked at the source on both your site and mine. Your URL has been edited enough to have extra non-displaying characters in it (which is where the ampersand came from). Try deleting what's there and putting it back in properly from scratch.

If you're using the LJ editor one approach is to highlight the word website.

Then click the create/edit link icon. Then type in the url and click ok.

The result would be that when someone clicks on the word website they would be directed to that url.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

First thing I tried was the create link and it did not work correctly for me.

The mad blonde figured it out...LJ gives the option of using rich text or html. The urls you both gave me were for html not usable in the rich text format of LJ. Once I edited in html all fell into place (after I remembered my html experience from over 10 years ago at OMNI). Thanks Marilee and madblonde :-)
