  I put a link in one of my posts and it doesn’t work. There is just a “404 not found” message when I click on it.. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong..

  Looks like there is something wrong with the url address…

  For example if I want to link to “www.something.com” and i put it in my post, do the linking thing.. ;o)..and then publish it and try the link I get this:
  “http://alohomora.wordpress.com/wp-admin/www.something.com”

  Is it supposed to be that way?
  (I searched for something about this but couldn’t find anything that helped me)

  Well, no that’s not the way it goes on.. If you are using the basic interface, then just type http://alohomora.wordpress.com/wp-admin/www.something.com.

  Or click on the big white button called “LINK” above and type the link there and click okay.

  Or if you are using the WYSIWYG interface, simple type the link.

  Is this helpful?

  Make sure when you enter a link it has “http://” in front of it.

  It was the “http://” part that I missed. Thanks! It works now. :o)
