linking
-
Hi, on one of my posts, I am trying to include a link and have the link lead directly to a certain site. As of right now I don’t know how to do that so the reader would have to copy and paste into a different tab. How to activate the link directly from the post?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: creating links in posts and pages
Using click here is the worst possible choice of anchor text. Use either the title or the most relevant keyword or keyword phrase as anchor text when creating links in posts and pages.
First, make sure you are running one of the browser versions found here > http://browsehappy.com or upgrade to one of them.
Then see 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 here1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice. Use relevant anchor text to link to.
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. -
Highlight the word or site name you want to create the hyperlink to.
Then click the link button on the post toolbar. On my toolbar, that’s next to the number list tab.
A dialogue box opens up and you can put in the link.
You’ll also have the option for a new window to open or let the reader go directly from your page to the linked page. I’d suggest you have the new page open so they don’t have to use the back arrow.
Click add link and a hyperlink to the site you want will appear.
Hope this makes sense. Good luck!
