Hot-link help ...

I am drafting an email in which I want to put a hot-link (blue link) to a online music video ... (example: "Here ... I think you will enjoy this" as a blue link; but I haven't the slightest idea how to do it.

Please give me step by step instructions (BTW, my next request will be step by step instructions on how to program my TiVo ... I am that much behind the technological times).

Thanks.

I'll try it when I get home.

If you hear, read about, a loud explosion in the SW US ... you'll know it didn't work for me!
