  I am trying to create a post with a link to an offsite audio file but can’t remember how to get the link to display only a title instead of the whole link. How do I do this? I have clicked insert/edit link and entered a title, but it still shows the whole link and not the title.

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

  This is 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 here

  1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “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.
