  No – you need to read the instructions in the FAQs and follow them carefully. Here are the link to them http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/how-to-write-links/

  How do I make a link to another site?

  Roboninja – can we have two things:

  1. A link to your blog.

  2. using backticks (look below the reply box) please can you put the exact text you are trying to use to create a link?

  I’m sorry, I don’t understand. What I wanted you to do was post the text that you were trying to create. On my keyboard the backtick is top left. I was then going to correct your text as an example to show you how it is done. As you haven’t done that I will use a generic example:

  <a href="http://www.examplewebsite.com">Text here</a>

  Is the code you need to use substituting your text where necessary.

  Follow the instructions they gave you.

  1) give us a link to your blog
  2) in here, post the code you’re trying to post, exactly. Before you start the code, hit the backtick, and do it again when you’re done posting the code. The backtick is the little apostrophe-like thing on the same key as the ~

  We cannot help you if you don’t follow these two steps.

  roboninja: using cornell’s example

  <a href="http://www.examplewebsite.com">Text here</a>

  you’re supposed to replace ‘http://www.examplewebsite.com’ with the url you want to put, and the ‘Text here’ is replaced with the word you want to highlight.

  backtick is the symbol above the tab key, or next to the no. 1 key. if you still don’t know where’s the backtick, just give us the exact url and the word you want to highlight as a link, and we can show you how to link.
