So for example, my most recent blog is the advertisement for the 31st Expert DM Competition on the What's a DM to Do? Forum.  The url for the blog is http://community.wizards.com/wrecan/blog/2011/09/19/expert_dm_competition_31:_forge_an_item_set!  If I wanted to create a link to that blog in a Wiki that was called "Expert DM Competition 31", I would write as follows: [http://community.wizards.com/wrecan/blog/2011/09/19/expert_dm_competition_31:_forge_an_item_set! Expert DM Competition 31] It would appear in the Wiki as follows: Expert DM Competition 31 I hope that helps.

Nermil Fylthwin So it would be: [community.wizards.com/eberroncampaignpor... Nermil Fylthwin] But it appears like you see above , where the first part of the path ( http:// ) disappears and it looks like this in the blog where I put it!!! And yes , i´ve put it correctly with the full path , he just "trims" it!! Know what´s causing this!?

In the blog, write out the text you want the link to appear as: "XDMC Wiki" Then highlight the text with your cursor. Then click on the "link" button that looks like .  It's all the way on the left on the second row of icons. You'll get a dialog box that looks like the following: In "Link URL" put the url address for the link.  I would insert "http://community.wizards.com/xdmc/wiki/Expert_Dungeon_Master_Competition" Hit "Insert". Now you should have a clean link. There's no way I know of to turn off the trim function in posts and blogs.  advanced html trickery When I want to show the entire url address, I always write it out and then I add some "invisible" html code in the middle to confound the html editor.  For instance, in number 5 above, I highlighted the p in "http" and colored it black.  In the editor, the url address got cut off by the html used to designate colors, so it didn't activate the trim function. However, this also rendered it useless as a link.  So if I want to show the address and have it also work as a link, I have to write out the link and then add the invisible html to prevent the trim function from activating, and then I go through steps 1 to 5 above to make it a link.  Then I can get it to look as follows: http://community.wizards.com/xdmc/wiki/Expert_Dungeon_Master_Competition Which is a lot of work for little gain.
