Would you like to create a hyperlink to Books or Authors on Goodreads? It's really easy to do!

Here's how:
Just above the comment box there is an "add book/author" link you can use to link to Goodreads content! Just search for the book or author, and click "add" to create a link!

Want to know why this is a REALLY cool feature? Not only does it make it easy to jump to the books or authors mentioned... take a look at this...I'll use our Captivating Reads thread as an example (this works in all threads).

Go to the Captivating Reads thread, and of course you can see the conversation... but look over to the right! You can also see a column that is automatically generated by Goodreads of "Books mentioned in this topic". How cool is that?

@Arni Doh! I thought I tested the link, apparently I didn't. Thanks for the catch... (it works now) ;-)

Mark Bless (markb56) | 10 comments Grrr. On the Kindle Fire (which I'm loving), the cover links in posts show as blank boxes. I also can't create a hyperlink in a post. Posts look like "was reading (blank box), which was awful" IRRITATING.
