  What I mean is, what is the code to post a URL but to have it say something else.
  Example; [url=URL Here]Say what you want[/url] and instead of the URL, it shows up as “Say what you want” (whatever you type there).

  Does anyone know what the code is for wordpress to do that? Any help would be appreciated.

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

  It depends on the blog, so please provide a link to your blog, starting with http.

  In the visual editor, you write the text you want, highlight it, click the Link icon (row 1, icon 10), paste the URL in the box that opens, select Target “Open link in a new window”,* click Insert, click Save.

  (* This is optional, but it’s better to use it: this way one doesn’t leave your blog when opening a link.)

  In the html editor, you use this code:
  <a href="URL_HERE" target="_blank">TEXT_HERE</a>
