  This week I note that the editor has changed the way highlighted text links to URL.
  I am not very skilled in HTML code directly from the “Text editor” and usually create my posts from the “Visual editor” using the menu shortcuts available to automate the HTML codes such as “insert/edit link”.
  Now the “insert/edit link” button will not allow me to have a message with the mouse hover-over the link. That wonderful feature is now absent. I made some mistakes before I noticed this and it changed the reading text on the post and even failed to link to an a webpage properly before I noticed that something was screwy.
  I had to go back to the editor and remove the link; now as a workaround I only insert the URL.
  Sadly, this lost the feature of the readers’ mouse over message assistance and alert what this link is about.
  Is there a way to retrieve that (mouse-over message link) feature?
  If not what is the proper HTML code, so I may insert it manually?

  I am frustrated and decided to look at some of my previous posts when the insert/edit link tool worked properly for mouse over message.

  I am trying to reason out the difference in HTML code.
  Something like this:
  previously worked – a movie

  mouseover feature removed – see more tests here

  Hmm, I will give this longhand HTML code a go, but is there a way to insert that feature back into the editor again?
  This is a painful struggle to write html code for all my links in every post I blog.
