Is it possible to change the way a link shows up?

Instead of it having the full, long link on screen, I'd rather have a link that says 'Read More', or better still, an image that is the link.

Is that possible?

Sure, can you post the little snippet of code that displays your link now?

This is the line of code that I have:

I'm a rookie when it comes to PHP, just about reached 24 hours on it [blush]

It's just HTML, try this:

<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>">Read More &gt;&gt;</a><br/>

Or

<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><img src="http://www.interactivetools.com/images/logo.gif" /></a><br/>

Thanks, that works great.

The only thing is, how do I get rid of the coloured square around the image?

Add border="0" to the image tag:
