In the window you compose your posts in, there's a row of buttons right above where you type the text. The one that looks like a little blue globe represents the world wide web. Click it and paste your link in the box that appears. (You'll have to backspace out the "http" that comes in the box when it opens. I don't know why they bother putting that there.)

Here it is:

Digger, I never knew about the little blue globe and the box it brings up on the screen. I always highlighted the url in the address bar, copied and then it and pasted it into the post I was creating. It always amazes me what I can learn on this site!

I agree, I was disappointed to hear it had closed. Fortunately, I visited there a year ago, Oct 2012, and I took a bunch of pictures. I just finished posting the pics to my website, so for all of you that didn't get a chance to go, or need a pleasant reminder, go to my website and check out the pics. There are a lot of them!
