Step 3. Save and add the custom BBCode.

NOTE: It adds the http:// and www. to whatever you type so you must put the .com, .org, etc, after the name of the website. Also do not put spaces for the same reason. You can link to a page even and it'll put "Source:" in front of it so you can use this for just simple posts.
