Insert a link into a Myspace bulletin - How to
I'm thinking about introducing a new feature here on Web Tracker. My plan is to occasionally turn to my web logs and do my best to address any unfulfilled Myspace queries. We'll see how it goes.
Actual query: myspace how to insert a link into bulletins
This person is looking to insert a clickable link into their Myspace bulletin. Let's tackle this one.
How to get a TEXT link into a Myspace bulletin
1. Go to your Myspace POST BULLETIN page.
2. In the BODY of your Myspace bulletin, paste the following code:
<a href=""></a>
3. Between the quotes, type the web address (URL) where you intend to send your readers. For the sake of clarity, let's say that you want to post a bulletin link to my own site (Web Tracker); the URL would be http://web-tracker.blogspot.com.
Example:
<a href="http://web-tracker.blogspot.com"></a>
4. Now type your link text between the > and <. Again, for the sake of clarity, let's say your link text is Click here to go to a really cool site.
Your example would now look like this:
<a href="http://web-tracker.blogspot.com">Click here to go to a really cool site</a>
That's it really. Previewing your Myspace bulletin you'd see this:
Click here to go to a really cool site
...and you're done.
One variation of this is to have an image be the link rather than the text.
How to get an IMAGE link into a Myspace bulletin
1. Same as above
2. Same as above
3. Same as above
4. Now insert the following code between the > and <.
<img src="">
Your example would look like this:
<a href="http://web-tracker.blogspot.com"><img src=""></a>
5. Finally, insert your images web address (I'm assuming it's hosted online somewhere) between the quotes. Continuing with the Web Tracker theme above, we'll use the web address to my own logo: http://members.cox.net/web-tracker/TTlogo.gif
Your example would look like this:
<a href="http://web-tracker.blogspot.com"><img src="http://members.cox.net/web-tracker/TTlogo.gif"></a>
That's it really. Previewing your Myspace bulletin you'd see this:
...and you're done.
Hope that helps at least one person out there. :)

thanks man, great help :)
Hey Tom, I don't know why, but whenever I try to post a link in a bulletin it doesn't work. It's simple html, I know, but every time I do it, it goes through just fine (and says that it'll take a max of 5 minutes to appear) but the bulletin never appears. 'Tis getting annoying. Help! Thanks.
This is for Ramone I guess, and anyone else that reads this. The problem is, Myspace is filtering clickable links in bulletins, thanks to the overflow of phishing scams coming through. I am unsure at this point if they are only filtering certain domains, or just clickable links all together, but that's why your bulletin never shows up. I'm currently trying to find a way around it, but have been unsuccessful so far. Good luck.

Mr. Thomas, thanks for this.
Thanks a million. For some reason I had completely forgotten how to do this.
How can a band put their music player into a myspace bulletin? I've seen it done, I just need the codes.
Thanks!
