Univision links to Caray Caray!
Is that cool or what? Maria Milligan at Univision wrote me and said she had added us to this page of links, and asked if I'd link back to Univision, so I did (see bottom of left sidebar).
Hah!

They link to you, you link back to them. I wish I could link. Just the thought of linking gives me a brain freeze.
It's really a piece of cake. If you (or anybody else) wants a quick lesson, I'll try to explain it.
#1— GO TO the the website you want to link to. At the top, in the address bar, you will see the URL of the site, its "address" Usually begins with: http://www.XXXXXXXX.com, (or ".org", or ".edu", depending), but not always. COPY this address and PASTE it safely somewhere you can get it easily, like Notepad, TextEdit or a word processing program.
#2— Then, supposing you are composing a comment for CarayCaray, GO BACK to your comment text and locate the word or phrase you want the link to illustrate.
#3— Immediately in front of this word or phrase, type the following: < then, a then, a space, then href="
Then, PASTE the URL that you stashed in step #1 ;
Then, type ">
#4—Immediately after the word or phrase that you are using to signal your link, type the following: < then, /a then, >
Voila! You have created a link. It's like a little magic trick. Try it.
This stuff you are typing is called HTML (hypertext markup language) and it is the code by which web pages are interpreted by the browser. The a tags that you use to surround the address of the linked page are part of the "grammar" of html. Inside tags, you give the attribute href="address of link" to tell the link where to go (don't forget the quotation marks surrounding the address). There are some other tags you can use inside an a tag, but Blogger doesn't allow them.
If this isn't clear, or doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll try to clear it up.
