i would like to be able to make friendly links to URLs in my author's notes, instead of just copying and pasting the address - i can make the address into a link now, which is great, but they're a bit long...is there a way to just write 'my comic website' or somesuch, and make that into a link to the site?

here's an example of my problem

You should be able to use this bit of bb code... but the forums won't let me type it exactly (it will translate it and turn it into a link) so what you'll have to do is copy what I've done, and then replace the { with ok? :)

{url=http://www.somethingreallylong.com }something short{/url}

here's a working example (except the website isn't real):
