Hyperlink not appearing in post
-
Help. My hyperlinks don’t appear in my posts. They look right until I publish. Then they don’t appear at all.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Can you give us a direct link to a post where the links have vanished, and tell us where the link should go, and what words/images you linked?
-
In this post you say “You can find the article here (for some reason my hyperlinks don’t work):” but immediately below that line is a link that’s active for me. http://kyllingsara.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/my-pull-towards-horror-movies/

I don’t think I explained it well. In this post, I wanted to do like I do here, and just write a word that will be the hyperlink. I edit in HTML, and everything looks right in the draft, but when I hit “publish”, the word is gone from my post. And when I go back to edit, the entire code is gone.

This is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>You type the anchor text first. Then you slect (highlight) it with your mouse. The pop-up box appears and you enter the URL and the titlr and click “insert into post”.
Example anchor text
one cool site
Example of code
<a href="http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/" title="one cool site">one cool site</a>
Example of active link
one cool site -
The code looks exactly like yours, but it’s just not working. Thank you for your responses. I will try again.

Do a link here so we can see it and on a separate line give us the URL that you are trying to link to.

Please look closely at your code. Sometimes you will discover there are double sets of quaotation marks. If that’s what you see then you remove the “curly quotes” and leave the straight ” quotation marks. But as rancoaster says what we need you to do is to post the code here into this forum thread betwee backticks so it all displays.backtick
code
backtickNote: the backtick ` not to be confused with the single quote mark ‘ is located to the left of the number 1 key in lower case under the tilde ~.

For some reason, when I do the code here, it works, so I just copied this code and made it work – but I cannot really see the difference in the two codes. Oh, well, it works now. Thank you so much for your help.
