  Hi there! Do you mean you need to create a link in a Text Widget? If so, here’s how:

  <a href="URL FOR WHERE THE LINK SHOULD GO WHEN CLICKED HERE">Text for link that will appear on your site goes here.</a>

  Edit the above HTML to include your link and link text, then paste it into the Text Widget and Save.

  The parts of the link and more HTML information can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/beginning-html/#adding-a-link

  Let me know if you have any questions! :)

  I’m sorry its still not exactly what I was thinking? It makes a link but when I click on it – it doesn’t go to that site, it stays in wordpress? I’m missing something…
