Hi, another random question.
So, I have seen sentences on WordPress.com that say, example, For more information on this subject click here.
And the “here” part of the sentence is a link!!!!
I am curious on how you do this.
Any tips?
Thanks,

Anyy text one wants to link to is called anchor text. You type the anchor text and then use your mouse to highlight (select) it. Then you click the chain icon and complete the pop-up form that appears by entering the URL.
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

Target blank is for opening the link in a new browser window or tab, but it works only if you are commenting on your own blog. Title is redundant if you use the same text in it: it’s optional, and it’s meant for additional info that pops up when you hover over the link.

Do note that linking to click here is sending Google juice to click here and consequently it’s a poor choice for anchor text. The correct choice is the relevant keywords or title. Please read > How to select and use anchor text effectively so you don’t get into the “click here” anchor text habit.

Yikes! I visited your blog and noticed you still have the spam comments posted on this post Bart’s King-sized book of FUN! despite the fact that I spent my time and energy exploring all of them and telling you they were spam.

(I changed my username and gravatar)
So, I get the anchor text, I have a question however. Well, actually two.
So, it’s just killing me that I have to delete all those comments! Oh, well.
Will the “spam” comments probably not have a pic gravatar?
And would this be spam?

Oh, and I am sorry about my inexperience, but I was trying to change my username to something else and it wouldn’t let me it said it had to be all lowercase letters and no spaces. So would comments with spaces and capital letters be spam, also?
I am sorry about this really long one. Just trying to make sense of it all =)

Hi, I just went through and deleted all of the comments on Bart’s King-sized book of fun, except one who I know personally. I have been short on time recently. Sorry about that, it was meant for @auxclass.
