Default How to post a link

Maybe it's just me and my circumstances but I get an awful lot of requests to go and look at something somewhere with convoluted directions or vague go to this dealer site and look under so & so. Most times I get, I am a computer newbie and don't know how to post a link. Here are directions a primate could understand..For those of you who say well, this is stupid, I have known how to do this for years..yes. This is not for you. BUT if you have any corrections, suggestions or ideas on how to convey this better PLEASE do so. It IS NEEDED by some.

Learning how to post a link is stupidly simple and a very valuable feature if you want to show someone something ANYWHERE on the World Wide Web.
If you ever learn anything about computers..let it be how to post a link. It takes you DIRECTLY to what you want someone to look at. 2-3 clicks and there it is.
You can Google it..HOW TO POST A LINK. There will be directions.
Here are mine.
Go to what/the page you want me to see. At the top of the page there is an address bar. WWW or HTTPS or wherever you are, in the case of Jan's forum it looks like this. https://luger.gunboards.com/forum.php
At the top of the page..put your cursor on this address bar and at the lower left of your keyboard there is a large key. CTL. Or the control key. At the top of the page take your mouse and starting at the right side of this address, push down on your mouse click and scroll through it to the left. It will turn blue. Once you see the address turn blue you must capture it. To capture it..press down on the CTL-control button to the lower left of your keyboard and while pressing down on the CTL-control button hit the letter C. Let go of them both. You have now captured the address bar and are able to move it to my email.
Go to email..or for that matter almost any message venue..private messaging on the Forums or whatever you want to show someone.
Start the message..say Jerry, here is the link you need. Now, hit CTL, Control button/key and while pressing it down hit the letter V. Same as you did with CTL C, Your captured address link will magically appear. If it appears black, simply hit your ENTER key and that will turn it blue and activate it. Now send your email or private message and the recipient will be able to receive it, click on it and it will take him to the same page you got it from and might be looking at still.
Try it, you will like it.
