Help with links in posts | WordPress.org

I’m new to WordPress and I have to say that I love it.

With every post I write I have to include a link that is in a certain format, something like:

<a href="http://www.somesite.com/######/index.html">View the Site</a>

Where ###### is, I need the writer to enter a name of the exact directory.

Is there a way to include the code by default in every post, and place a note somewhere on the post page that reminds the poster to replace the ###### before posting?

Thanks,
Brandon

First, one post – no repeats. Very frowned upon.

Second, for extensive information on linking pages, posts, and categories, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Linking_Posts_Pages_and_Categories

Third, your WordPress link should be either:

http://example.com/index.php?p=24

0r, if you are using Permalinks:

http://example.com/category/my-post-name/

and nothing should be ending in x.html only x.php.

You don’t say where it is you want to link to.
One way would be to make a Quicktag – your user clicks the tag and enters the one word as ‘xxxxx/’
The code would do the rest – the ‘index.html’ is almost certainly not needed.
The making of a quicktag is covered here:

And you could use colour to highlight it ?
