<![CDATA[Silly question regarding highlited sites in posts]]>As I do not know the name of the maneuver I will try to explain my self.

I routinely see in these threads blue highlighted parts of a sentence when describing the topic of the day. These blue parts might say something such as " try this" .

When clicking the blue area we are redirected to the secondary site.

How do we do this and what is it called?

It gives convenient access to a picture of the item and a price. And if people click it, they support the project since a fraction of the price will go to the project.

However, if you want to avoid the box you can create a link using bit.ly (or goo.gl or any other url shortener). This works for codebender links as well. Like this: http://goo.gl/E9Gy6X

You can use this with the little chain symbol above the editor to create these.

My example in the editor:

[link or hyperlink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink)
