  I’m needing a specific link shared within my post. I went to the ‘share’ option (to embed it into my post) but it created a secondary post. How can I take the new post’s link and successfully pop that into my original post for the content I need? Thanks !

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

  To me it sounds like you are asking how to create links in posts and pages. I can help with that. Anchor text is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. Relevant anchor text matters because it tells search engines and visitors what the page is about before they land on it.

  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. ;)
  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.
