I don't know if this is the right place or even an old question but I have seen it done and don't know how to make a link out of word instead of listing the whole link...it looks cleaner...and would like to utilize it.

Ha! You've been in the forums long enough to work it out :)
Look at the way your sig is done for instance, instead of img tags and the image location, just replace that with a word.

Ha! right back at you! I know...I know...I am retarded, but I really can't figure it out...I will just look up the links I have seen and try to hammer it out on my own. I don;t know what you mean by the img tags...I know what you mean by image location...the url, right?

Well, What you need to do is put the tag

Thank you Warspritecomic so much...I totally understand that.
Much appreciation!

I didn't mean to by cryptic Midge :( I was straight out serious. I know Warspritecomic explianed it for you, but I'll just explian my explanation. Here's your sig:

The "img" tags are red, the image location is yellow and your link is blue. You just keep the blue bit and replace the rest with the word you want to use like so:
