  Can’t add a link to my blog post. In the composer screen if I select “visual” then the “link” button is grayed out. If I select “text” I can enter something like this:
  

  but it doesn’t show up in the published blog post.
  Must be something I’m doing wrong but can’t see it.
  Here is the post I’m working on:

  Thanks.

  Hi there,

  I think I see your problem! The issue is that you are inserting a hyperlink which doesn’t have any text to link to. Between the link location and the “/a” (between angled brackets. If I put the brackets in here it won’t show), you need to put in a word for the link. If not a word, then an image source (in the form of img src=”http:yourimagehere.com/image.jpg”).

  Similarly, in order to get the link button to not be greyed out, all you need to do is select some text and it will become available. You can then click it and turn that text in to a link!

  Let me know if you need anything else!
