Crediting in icon comments?

This is my first time posting here, so hopefully this is a relevant question.

I'm trying to credit the person who made the icons I have here at DW. One of them has a DW, so not an issue. The other person does not have a DW. I tried to do an <*a href...*> link in the comment box directly her LJ, but apparently you can't use that HTML code in the comment box. So I tried lj user, but that links to the DW of the person, NOT the LJ. And since they don't have a DW, it just comes up that the person doesn't have a registered DW account.

So the question is, how can I have it link to her actual LJ journal in the comment box for icons? I can just put the straight URL without linking (and that's what I've done for now), of course, but I'd like to be able to directly link to her.

Thanks in advance!

the code you need is: [user name="xyz" site="livejournal.com"] ... can also be exchanged for site="insanejournal.com" etc. :)

Try this: <lj user="username" site="livejournal.com">. Replace the red text with proper username.

Also, Tags and Markup has more info.

I'm glad you asked this question. I've been wondering this for days and I kept forgetting to post the question!
