  Why canIi no longer save hyperlinks and later by typeing a word then cklicking the icon in the menu bar get a list of previously saved hyperlinks and choose one click it and it turns my typed word into a link. This used to be the case but no longer. I dont mean blogroll either.

  First make sure you are running one of the browser versions found here > http://browsehappy.com or upgrade to one of them.

  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 anchor text you want to link to first.
  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.
