Thank you very much, Sharilynn Shilova One way is to simply paste the URL into your land description. It's the two boxes you can type in when you click on About Land.

From: Sharilynn Shilova Can I put the url on an object?
Thank you, Sharilynn Shilova You sure can. You can type the URL as the name of the object or the description. You can also make the object a notecard giver and have it give notecards with the URL. You can even have this be done automatically when a person TPs onto your land. I'm too tired to explain how to do that step by step but someone will be along shortly if you still need further assistance.

You can just have an object generate a link with a really simple script: From: someone default { touch_start(integer total_number) { llLoadURL(llDetectedKey(0), "Second Life Website", "http://secondlife.com"  ; } }

Welcome to the forums, Sharilynn!!
I'm not sure exactly what you want to do ... if you want to put the URL on an object and then when people click it, have the website show up on that object, like a monitor screen ... then the answer is no, there isn't yet a way to do that in SL. However, the Lindens are working on it - it's called "HTTP on a prim".
What Beezle's excellent script will do is pop up a little dialog box that will ask the avatar who touched the object if they want to go to that website. If they say yes, it will start up a new browser outside of SL, and go to that browser instance. When the user is done there, if they close the browser generally they will automatically go back to SL, otherwise they'll have to choose it from among the open windows.
If you already know how to use scripts, don't bother with the following: To use Beezle's script, copy it using ctrl-C (on a PC). Then go into SL and make a box using Build. Go to the Contents tab in the edit screen, and choose the New Script button. Paste Beezle's script in there (replacing the sample script), and hit the Save button. Name the object something nice - the name will show up in the dialog box. When you touch the box, you'll see the dialog box.
Good luck!

Good luck! Edited my post to make it a bit clearer as to what to cut-n-paste.
