    I think they are talking about copy/pasting code.

    For example: copy and pasting this code into a skeleton web page.

    Code:
     <a href="index.html" alt="Home">Home</a>
    Code:
     
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "[URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd[/URL]">
    <html> 
    <head> 
    <title>test document</title> 
    </head>
    <body>
     
    </body> 
    </html>
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>test document</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href="index.html" alt="Home">Home</a>
    </body>
    </html>

        You need to access the file through your FTP client and edit it.

            That depends what folders exist in on your site, and which one contains the file you wish to edit. We can't tell you that sort of thing. If you're going to be running a site, you're probably best learning the basics first. File editing is really one of the first things you need to know.

                Oh you're talking about editing your vB? Then the file will be in the directory in which vB is installed. For example, if the URL to your board is www.mysite.com/forum, the file should be within the 'forum' directory.

                Is that what you mean?

                    Just the same as you would copy/paste into any document.

                        No, copy and paste into whichever file it is you wish to edit.

                          If you want to add a link in your homepage HTML or PHP file etc. You need to edit the file in question using a text editor like NOTEPAD etc.

                          Then you have to use HTML etc to add the link. Using code like:

                          <a href="http://www.blabla.com" target="_blank">Link Name</a>

                          or for an image etc

                          <a href="http://www.blabla.com" target="_blank"><img src=http://www.blabla.com/forum/images/me.gif /></a>

                              Man, that's exactly what I said! I just assumed if you're building a website, you would know such basic HTML.
