    1. you can say <a href="www.yourlinkaddress.com">here</a>

    2. if you want to make the link open a new window or tab (it depends on the browser settings) you can say <a href="www.yourlinkaddress.com" target="_blank">here</a>

    3. if you want to go a little bit more advance, you can do it with javascript by saying <span onclick="javascript:window.location = 'www.yourlinkaddress.com';">here</span>

    Links can be placed inside paragraphs.

    You know that you should clean the outside of your computer screen every so often. However, did you know that you're supposed to clean the inside of the screen, too? Not many people know this or how to do it. So, here's a complimentary cleaning. <a href="">here</a>

    If the link is linking to your site you don't need the full HTTP address if it isn't then you do.

    <a href="url">Link text</a>

    Where it says "url" is where you put the whole http address. Where it says Link Text is where you would put what you want the link to look like. Here it is using your example:

    You know that you should clean the outside of your computer screen every so often. However, did you know that you're supposed to clean the inside of the screen, too? Not many people know this or how to do it. So, here's a complimentary cleaning <a href="http://www.insertaddyhere.com">here.</a%3E

    The solution is to use the <a link in html... e.g....

    ...complimentary cleaning <a href="cleaningpage.html">here</a> assuming that cleaningpage.html is a page on your website. if the page is not within your website then the full url is needed, e.g., "href="http://www.cleaningpage.html"/ it's pretty simple and there are other options for the link, but this should get you going. good luck.
