When you have typed out the headline you want to feature, highlight it with your cursor, then go to the font/formatting menu above your message. On the right there are a series of icons, a globe, then an envelope, then a picture, etc. Click on the globe (link) and a box will pop up saying "create link". The text you've highlighted will appear in the top box (text) and in the bottom box you put the Url of the website you're linking to (in my case it was copied from the top of the Guardian page my link points to). None of that is probably very clear, I'm afraid. Just play around with the link buttons, you'll find the one that works.

No link for this headline because I do not even understand the news value of the information:

I hope that everybody has learned since then that it all was a hoax.

From what I could tell, so is Bernie. No news from the other Republicans.

in German:
Deutsche Touristin tödlich verunglückt. Frau und Britin sterben bei Bootsunfall.
(something like: German tourist has deadly accident. Woman and female brit die at boating accident. - difficult to explain, but the "Frau und Britin" part sounds really odd, like the british woman is something other than a woman.)

That's just your standard newspaper insularity (or, rather, focussing on what will grab the local readers' attention). The British press would - and do - do exactly the same, mutatis mutandis, as in "Fog in channel - Continent cut off"). I'm guessing there wasn't enough headline space to include any more detail about the unfortunate German lady, especially if she came from somewhere like Tauberbischofsheim.

Just as a comparison, here's a British report of what sounds like the same incident: linkJust a thought: surely "Britin" indicates that it's a woman, whereas "Frau" might be used to indicate that the German victim was married? All a way to squeeze as much information into as few words as possible. My blog | My photos | My video clips"too literate to be spam"

no, frau can be married or unmarried. in the very old days unmarried would be fräulein, but that is very out of date. these days, you can't tell if someone is married by the word used to address or describe them.

Hasn't mademoiselle gone the same way? I don't think so, but it would depend on the age of the person being spoken to.

Mademoiselle has been removed from official forms, but it is still used in everyday life.

Actually, I understand this headline perfectly well after that story about the python that came up through a toilet and bit a man's penis, but I think it is funny to address this ongoing fear of so many people. Which animals can swim up your toilet?
