To do a link back, you can put the name of the group, or the area you want to link back to like ours for the hints section... most of the time you will just put the other Groups welcome page so that others can find them and see what type of group it is... but I am in the hints section so I will use that one lol.
 
Find the address in the Address bar at the top of your screen. While holding down your left mouse button, highlight the entire address (after the logo if you have Windows; don't know what it looks like on anything else but you will start with the http://). You can also double click on the address to highlight the entire thing.
 
Right click and click copy.
 
Highlight the name you have typed (the one I am using is The HeatherMyst Hints and Tips) by running your curser over it while holding down on the left button of your mouse. Again, you can double click to highlight the entire name... FYI: If you want to do an entire paragraph you can triple click
 
After you have it highlighted, look up at the yellow section of your post... see the image above...
 
Find the blue world like globe with the chain link on it.
 
Left click, then left click in the white area after the http://... don't worry about it being there already... now just do a control + V to paste the link into the open white section. 
 
Click insert.
 
There you have it! If I did it right, you should be able to click on the link below to take you back to the menu for the hints and tips section :-)
 
 
There is another way to do this if you are going to link within the group you are in. 
 
You will type out the name you wish to use and then highlight as above... but this time after you click the world/chainlink... you will  look above the http:// and see "Select a Group"
 
Click on the arrow to the right and it will bring up all the pages on that group... scroll down til you see what you want to link and click on it. Lets use
 
 
this time... click on that page. It will show in the http:// section
 
Then click insert... Voila! You have a link.
 
If you have questions, please holler. We want everyone to be able to do link backs after getting permission from the group they are copying from.
 
We also want you to be able to show us something in the easiest way possible if you need to within our group!
 
If you make a mistake... let's say you want to highlight hints but you accidently linked it to snags... just click control + Z and it will take you back a step so you can do it again :-).

Not necessarily. I have threads that have a link back listed on the first one stating that all beneath come from the same place. For instance, the Dali Lama information is mostly shared through beliefnet so on the first post, I state that and that the rest are from the same source... I do still post where they originally came from. (beliefnet gets their info from different places) 
 
Then there are some that don't ask for a link back... they actually will say "free to share without link back" or something along those lines... in this case, if it is a site that you really like, you could still put a link back so others can find it. But if it is just a one time thing, and not what you would normally share, or they would not normally put on a pagan site, just the name of the one who authored it is good or even "shared on web" if they are, say, Christian and really don't want to be associated.
 
When they have stated in their rules or somewhere else that they require a linkback, we always honor that. If they say not to share outside their group, we never do as 1. it is dishonorable and 2. it can get us shut down.
 
I know, it gets a bit confusing. I think that is why I just tend to put everyone's links on lol ... That and I want to show appreciation for their efforts.
 
I hope that helps hon.
 
Hugs
Rowan
