Could someone teach me how to make a word a link? It feels wrong to just leave the url out in the open to click on.

I'm trying, but it doesn't seem to work.
If it helps that I say this, I'm trying to do it on this website specifically.
Really should have mentioned that in the first post, yeah yeah, I get it.

So you're talking about BBCode, not HTML. That would've helped a whole ton.

Yeah, the board uses BBCode, which is surrounded in brackets ([ ]), to format posts. It essentially translates that BBCode into HTML that the web browser can understand, but it can't parse HTML within posts in and of itself.
The format that GhostHawk gave is HTML, and it's what you would use if you were creating an actual webpage.

It turns out he was asking for BBCode though.

He said he was trying to use it on this website, and it's what he was looking for.

You're not at fault; fireflowerhour is. I assume you took his context and used it to figure out what he was legitimately talking about.
He mistook BBCode for HTML.
