Hm...when you say 'indented twice' I will assume you mean indented 2
spaces.  Here's one way to do what you want, however, this will put the
description directly underneath the hyperlink without the blank line in
between. 

<ul>
<li>
<a href="whatever.edu">Blah blah blah</a><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a link to blah blah blah.
</ul>


You could also do a definition list with the hyperlink on the first line
and the text below and indented (but more than 2 spaces) with a blank line
(using <p>) in between the hyperlink and text. If that extra line space
between link and text isn't important then don't put in the <p>:


<dl>
<dt>
<a href="whatever.edu">Blah blah blah</a>
<p>
<dd>This is a link to blah blah blah.
</dl>

There might be other more creative ways, but these would be pretty easy to
do. In either case, you'd only have one list, i.e. only one set of list
tags (<dl></dl> or <ul></ul>) instead of one set around every link/text combo.
