  Hey there –

  What post on your blog are you trying to add a link to?

  Here is the support page that may be a helpful reference:

  I am trying to link back to another blog on my Monogramed Burlap Coaster Posts. I am in the “Text” Mode and press the Link button at the top of the editor page. I am copying and pasting the link into the url, and it will show up in my “Text Mode” but as soon as I go into visual mode, nothing shows up.

  It might be a browser issue, but I wanted to take a look at the post and the text you’re trying to link before determining that for sure.

  See what happens if you try linking the text in visual mode:

  1. Highlight the text you want to link.
  2. Click the link button on the toolbar.
  3. Then copy and past the address into the pop-up that appears.

  Let me know what happens, thanks!

  Yeah, sounds like a browser issue. I would first try to clear your cache and cookies and see if that does the trick: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

  I would also try a different browser (what browser are you currently using?) to see if linking works.
