  I have created a private blog for the staff members at my school. I would like to be able to insert outside links to my posts and still have my blog private. Is this possible? Currently, WordPress is adding ‘href.li to any link I insert, and then it will not open. I would really like to invite my staff members to or blog but do not want to until I know that they will be able to access all the content that I give them. Please advice.

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

  When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Sure, no problem there.

  Currently, WordPress is adding ‘href.li to any link I insert

  We do that to help keep private sites private. If we don’t, the sites you link to may see your site in their referrers list. So the href.li thing is normal.

  This part isn’t normal though:

  and then it will not open.

  Can you post the link here? I’ll find it and figure out what’s wrong with it.
