  Hey all, WordPress used to have a simple way of obtaining a quick-link to blog posts. It would just be there in the column on the left. Recently though I’ve gone to do this and it’s not there.

  Simply put, how do I get quick-links?

  The blog this relates to is My Housemate’s a Mermaid: https://myhousematesamermaid.wordpress.com/

  Thanks!

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

  I’m not convinced I know what you are referring to. If you are asking how to create a link in a post or page please read on.

  See here https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  For embedding links in post and pages 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. In the Visual editor type the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “click here” is not a good choice, relevant anchor text matters. ;)

  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.
