How To Insert Hyperlinks In Blogger Comments

I'm posting this because I always have to go searching for how to do this. Now it'll be right here on my own blog where I'll have no excuse for losing it. I think linking is tidier than pasting a whole URL. If you're as uneducated on HTML as I am, I hope you find this useful.

The template:

a href="URL GOES HERE">HYPERLINK TEXT GOES HERE

For example:

a href="http://www.betterthanmachines.com">an awesome blog

Now put < at the beginning and <*slash*a> at the end of that code and insert the whole thing where it belongs in a sentence. And by *slash* in this case I mean the actual /

So the result would like this:

Condi, come quick! I found an awesome blog that's shattered all that I once held as true!
