Leaving direct links in comments

I know I have written about this before, but I did find some new code yesterday to make your link look italicized (in addition to the bold)!

It really makes the link stand out even more! See the sample below...

Photobucket

I'm embedding the videos on my blog now... :)

    Love the tutorials. I watch them even though I know how to do what you are saying. :) I love Hey Pate it. I've been using it ever since you posted about it. LOVE IT!

    Just in case you were wondering... I would love a tutorial on how to paste an automatic signature on your blog. I have read tutorials but not figured out WHERE in my blog HTML code to post the signature code yet.

    Like my direct links below. :p

    Love your direct links!! I know a lot of you about this, but I've had some other people ask more about it so I thought I'd put it out there. :)

    I would be happy to video about the signature, I'll put that on my list. Thanks for your ever-thoughtful comments Ms. M, you are the best! PS, did ya see we are on TBA together today?!

I also tried to the Hey Paste It and when I click on post online it comes back with Clip 0000 and when you click the direct url it is text about a pair of treasure craft ashtrays that will apparently look great in my mid-century modern living room! I even tried a Mozilla to see if it was Internet Explorer causing trouble. Do you have any other thoughts about this?
