  Hi, I was able to easily type hyperlinks into my posts on my blogger.com site. Unfortunately it’s not working with WordPress – – – I type in the < a href (etc. etc.) business BUT THE HYPERLINK WON’T SHOW when I publish, and when I go back to edit it, there is no evidence that I ever typed in the HTML stuff in the first place. Are things done differently with WordPress????? Educate me please!

  Hi ya…

  There are a couple ways to add hyperlinks. When composing a new post, type in the text you want hyperlinked, highlight it and click on the Insert Link button. Like this:

  -> http://i1.tinypic.com/rw19v9.png (highlight text)
  -> http://i1.tinypic.com/rw1a1c.png (hyperlink button)

  That will give you this options window and a spot to type in or paste in your desired URL:

  -> http://i1.tinypic.com/rw1agw.png (optioos window)

  And there you are…a new link:

  -> http://i1.tinypic.com/rw1aus.png (new link)

  Another way to do it is to click on the Edit HTML Source button:

  -> http://i1.tinypic.com/rw1cfq.png (HTML button)

  That will allow you to edit on the HTML level:

  -> http://i1.tinypic.com/rw1cth.png (options box)

  Just type in your standard HTML and hit the “Update” button to flush it to your post.

  Those are the two ways I know of. Hope that helps. Cheers. :-)
