  Is there a way to change the display name of a link in a comment? (I don’t know html code very well.)
  For example, I want to link to a Scripture passage, and would like the link to look like “Matthew 4” but link to the biblegateway.com page.
  Thanks for any help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes. Note the format of a link below:
  <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A1-11&version=NIV" title="Matthew 4" target="_blank">Matthew 4</a>

  @staceylingle: Please post the URL of your blog when asking questions here, or turn your username into a link to your blog – see point 2 here:

  General link model:
  <a href="URL HERE">VISIBLE TEXT HERE</a>

  (Target blank id 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.)
