Info on how to embed a link is here

Good news is that it is really easy to do :) Just look at the example given.

There are two parts to a link, first is the url part the user does not see and then there is the text part the user sees.

FIRST PART (Stuff you must put in is in RED)
a link begins with a < (greater then character) then you put in A (anchor) then a HREF="(hyperlink reference equals) don't forget the quote and notice there is a space between the A and the HREF="

< A HREF="

Next goes the URL(Uniform Resource Locator) you want to link to followed by an end quote and a greater then sign "> , do not forget the end quote!

< A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kAYODuIPro" >

That takes care of the hidden part of a link. The text part that the user sees is even easier

after the > character just write the text you want, then add a backslash / and a >

< A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kAYODuIPro" > text user sees goes here. followed by /> which ends the link statement

So your link HTML code would look something like this

< A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kAYODuIPro ">Click here to watch the you tube video />

Somewhere on this site is a thread called HTML Sandbox which contains lot of good info on using HTML.

fyi HTML states for Hyper Text Markup Language.
