Stupid question: How do I add links to text in thread?

Instead of typing a link into a post like this:

http://www.zombo.com

How could I link a specific word(s) to a web page without the actual URL visable in the text of the post?

Another stupid question:

What"s with the brackets ("[" and "]") though? The HTML I have been learing is using the "<" and ">" symbols.

This isn't HTML it's vB code.

Here is a list of many supported commands/tags.

You could also post the text you want to appear first, like, "Linky."
Copy the full URL, then highlight the word and click the little insert link icon: and paste the URL in the field.
