I'm trying to link to my blog in my siggy, but I'm having issues. I want it to say "blah blah blah" and not "www.blahblahblah", kwim? Here's the steps I'm going through

1. Edit Signature (duh! :D)
2. Click on the little world icon that has the chain thing on it
3. Paste my link

And after that is where it all falls apart. Apparently there's supposed to be a box that comes up after I hit "ok" after pasting the link, a box that has two different links and the highlighted one can be erased to allow me to write "blah blah blah". That box doesn't come up for me. After I hit ok, it just pastes the link for me, I don't have the option to make it something different, if that makes sense.

How do I get this magic box to open for me?

When you paste your blog link in the box, it should put two links (same ones) in the original siggy box. One of those is highlighted. A separate box doesn't come up with the highlighted thing in it.

It doesn't though, I never see two links.

Not where you last saw me.
Highlight the http address of your blog and hit copy. Type the words you want, highlight them, click on the link icon (the world with the chainlink) and paste the http address of your blog in the box.

Being sure to remove the "http" that it automatically puts there before pasting the link into the box.
