  Hi, i have recently began a blog and was just wondering if I could create a ‘Book Reviews’ widget that I could link specific posts to. Though, this would be different from the ‘Recent Posts’ widget. Thanks.

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

  If you are not adept at coding then create a draft post that you will later delete and do the link creation in it. After you use the Visual editor click into the HTML editor and copy and paste the content into a text widget.

  See the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  This is the general link model:

  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

  This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
  Highlighted anchor text here

  1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice. Use relevant anchor text to link to.
  2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
  3. Next, click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
