Though I have to say, as someone who isn't literate in HTML and knows absolutely nothing about it, I will never remember this. I'd have to refer back to it every time I want to add a link, which is okay. But for me, just copying and pasting a URL from the address bar seems way simpler.

For example I am reading Philofaxy and RAy suggests I look at a cartoon ... i click the link and it now opens in place of Philofaxy when I was'nt finished reading the post.
