  Hi,

  I read another story blog (not a wordpress one) where the character’s names were blue. When you clicked on them a little box opened with details on them (like who they were married to, and a picture). I would love to be able to do this on wordpress, is it possible and how would I do it?

  That’s a javascript function, which isn’t available on WordPress.com

  In order to be able to fully help you, please link your wordpress.com blog to your username in your Profile or even mention it in your post.

  You could write a post or a static page for each person and just make their name a link to it. Set it to open in a new window.

  This is in the FAQ
  http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/how-to-write-links/
  and this is a little clearer:

  How do I make a link to another site?

  You can even write a short synopsis (about 78 characters) in the Title line, which shows in the screenshot of that second FAQ.
