How do you link a word to a site? Or more importantly, to an attached file to a post in a forum.
For example, if I have a word "Youtube" in my post, how could I make it so that it is hyperlinked to www.youtube.com

And for example, if I have a file and I say "Click here to download" and I want the word "here" to be hyperlinked to the attached file to the post, how would I go about doing that?

<a href="URL_HERE">Click here</a>, if I understood you correctly.

A word of caution, you typically want to avoid saying "click here" its a big internet cliche, and it makes your visitors have to read the whole subtext. Just be sure to specify what the link is and be descriptive rather than forcing the reader to read the whole page for content. say like "Download XYZ Software" , instead of "Click here to Download"

Well, depending on the context, it doesn't really matter.
Sure, in some cases, using "Click here", or "Here" isn't good, but if you have something like: "For the latest thread on The Helper, click here", then usually you'll be fine. :p
