this is strange! the first url was supposed to be: <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5501010/enhance-your-xbmc-experience-with-remote-controls-for-any-device">http://lifehacker.com/5501010/enhance-your-xbmc-experience-with-remote-controls-for-any-device</a><div>

and the second was an image that is in the first: <a href="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ixzpye9x9e7jpg/ku-medium.jpg">http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ixzpye9x9e7jpg/ku-medium.jpg</a><br clear="all"><div><br></div>
<div>
as such my post reads:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">I am trying to make it so that I can control my xbmc box from my laptop.
