  Hi there!

  It isn’t really possible to link a post to an external website.

  You can certainly create links *inside* the post to whatever you want, but the post itself will always be tied to your site.

  You can also use the Post Formats module (more info here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-formats/) to change the format of an existing post to “Link”, but depending on the theme you are using, this may or may not do what you want.

  You can see which themes support which post formats here:

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. :) Thanks!

  Thanks I will try that. Also, Superhero Theme does not give me the option to format chat in a post. Can that option be added to my Format module option list.

  The Superhero theme does not support the “Chat” post format as noted on our Post Formats page here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/post-formats/

  Your best bet is probably to paste the chat into the editor as simple text and then format it to your liking.

  Let me know if you need a hand and I’d be happy to help! :)

  Oh that sounds good, but I’m not sure that I know how. Is there anchat template that I could get ?

  I would simply enter your content using the Standard post format and then perhaps bold the names so they stand out. Something like this:

  There aren’t really template that do this, but that simple formatting should suffice. :)

  Thanks!
