Embedding links
-
It’s a really basic thing and I can’t find how to do it. All I want to do is embed a link to another site within a piece of text e.g. Mr X said xyz. You can read the full article/blog ‘here’. Or, the ‘RHS’ says (with a link to that website). How do I do this? I can’t find quite the answer as I think it may e a bit basic for a lot of your users.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I can help with that. 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 here1. 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. -
Thanks timethief. I’ll try this. I didn’t realise the process was called anchoring.
Thank you! -
