  Hello –

  The links do appear in blue text so that your readers know there is a link. Otherwise, they’d never click on it or know it was there.

  I apologize I was not clear. They appear blue, as they should when I am writing my post but when I publish it they are no longer blue and therefore not a link…I will look at what you posted also but have researched some without luck. Thanks for your reply.

  http://www.theinquisitivescorpionstale.com is not hosted with us at WordPress.com.

  There are 2 versions of WordPress. What happens here at WordPress.com is a bit different from the self hosted version that you are using. This guide outlines those differences: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  For help with this site you’ll want to post at the WordPress.org Support Forums or contact your host.

  Because the site is not hosted with WordPress.com we do not have any access to it for troubleshooting.

  Ugh. Is there a possibility to move it from the .org to the .com; it is presently hosted at blue host. I have zero technical skills but thought I was following the easiest path with blue host and word press. Thank you for your time in providing any suggestions.

  Absolutely! Here are the instructions that will walk you through moving from self hosted WordPress to WordPress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/view-all/

  I’m happy to help along the way and answer any questions that you come across.
