I switched the font here in the comments to mono-space and that allowed me to enter some HTML code. I'll look at the plugins they suggest to improve it. @Jason, thanks for the link.

I didn't have a question so much as an alternative to what you did. I was using a TextArea component then within that a htmlText component to display the links. Just used the CDATA tag to enclose all the html links and then applied a stylesheet to the TextArea component with a and a:hover styles.

I'll look into a Wordpress plugin that might allow for code in the comments. Or maybe I can just change the style to use a mono-spaced font. Anyway, I'll email you and see if I can help. @Jason, Good question. I’ll look into a WordPress plugin that might allow for code in the comments.

Being a bit of a noob to it, I wasn't sure if there was an easier way to get a list of HTML links working. I used the following code: <![CDATA[<a href='#' rel="nofollow">Register</a><a href='#' rel="nofollow">Admin Register</a><a href='#' rel="nofollow">Find Attendee</a><a href='#' rel="nofollow">Activate Event</a>]]> That coupled with some styling gets the list of links looking how they should. Haven't coupled in any events yet with the links, so that may bring me unstuck. I was trying to do something very similar in Flex yesterday as well.
