In the Visual editor, the link button is always greyed out when you haven't selected any text. First you type the word or phrase that will act as the link, then you highlight it, then you click the link button and paste the URL.

If your interested in having the extension so you can see the actual links here
on the forums, websites, twitter, then I highly recommend downloading the Firefox extension
from the developers website since Mozilla has a outdated version on their extension
site.

The extension on the dev's site is version 2.0
which allows you to post short links from any
of the Short URL site providers.

List of the sites the extension allows link posting from.

* Bit.ly
    * Is.gd
    * Rurl.org
    * Shrunklink.com
    * Tinyurl.com
    * Tiny.pl
    * Wapurl.co.uk

Here is a article about the Tiny URL creator version 2.0
you'll find the download link at the bottom of the article
if you chose to add it to your FF, browser.

Direct link: http://blog.mozmonkey.com/2008/tinyurl-supports-multiple-services/

BTW: No offense taken I understand were you're coming from you can never
be to safe on the internet now days thats the main reason for downloading
the Tiny URL extension so I can see the actual link when I'm reading twitter
posts.

I know there's no "danger" here, especially when you're one of the helpful members providing the links, it's just that I found it kinda weird... that's all.

Don't mind me, it's Monday and I guess I drank one cup of coffee too few.

P.s. If another blogger has the extension enabled on their Firefox browser
they can hover over the link & see a display of the actual link.

To make the URL shorter because the forum links etc are some times long
it's actually a Firefox, extension.

Why ? is it against the forum rules or something ?

I use the "Copy as HTML Link 1.1" Firefox extenion then I paste
the HTML code into a text widget.

Here is a direct link to the Firefox extension > http://tinyurl.com/2w6all

Here is a short video I made so you can see the extension in action
& understand how to use it. Video Link > http://tinyurl.com/9ssde4
