Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.

When you select the text and click the "Link" button, make sure that when you paste the address you want to link to it has the http:// bit at the beginning.
If you just paste www.google.com into the box it'll overwite the http:// that's already highlighted so the link will be broken - in this case you want to click your cursor anywhere in an empty bit of the box first to "un-highlight" it.
Hopefully that makes sense!
Thanks Simon - I've never used the link button - I always wrote it in as a string of HTML - probably a very inefficient method.
I shall try something now...
I was going to say similar - make sure you put in http:// at the beginning, or it 'll just come out like "blogger.com/yourlink.com/" or similar.
Using the link button is infinitely easier.
Also, I've found with my Mac, if I want to copy and paste text from somewhere else, it won't work on Safari, but it will on Firefox. (This is just a Blogger tip if you happen to be a Mac user... But only the Phantom knows what platform you use).
Thanks guys. A tiny thing that will make my life easier...
