 * I want to know if there is a way that users put a certain url in the post and
   then that url gets stored in a variable. And in the execution of the Loop the
   url gets called and used !

 * Could use custom fields for that.
 * In your loop you could use something like:
 *     ```
       $link = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'link_url', true);
       $text = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'link_text', true);
       if ($link){
       echo 'Credit: <a href="'.$link .'">'.$text.'</a>';
       }
       ```

 * You might want to look at using shortcodes for that.
