  I just published my first posts and pages and need some help.
  I have a text widget where I used HTML to add the picture (which is fine). I’m trying to add a link to our About Page with “Read More” as the link text.

  I assume the permalink is what needs to be referenced next to the anchor. I am typing this which I believe is correct:
  <ahref="http://experimentalexpats.com/about-us/ ‎"<Read More</a>

  When I save, the browser is either changing part of the code to junk or only the text comes up along with this at the end: <a>

  Please help. Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi rodiy2k,

  There is a space missing after the beginning “a” tag in <ahref=”… It should be ” is missing after the URL, before the closing quotation mark.

  You can copy and paste the following:
  <a href="http://experimentalexpats.com/about-us/">Read More</a>

  So sorry, I forgot to enclose the first sample code using the code button, so the ending part of my first sentence in my response is a link and it shouldn’t be. I do hope that you can make out what I am trying to say though.
