Linking back to a specific post
-
Posts on my blog, that I try linking to another blog, do not link back properly to mine.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
If I have a post on my blog (poem), and I link it to another blog, it does not link back to the specific poem.
-
Unless or until your provide specific links I cannot help you.
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.
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. -

Hi WordPressers,
e.g. poem called, First Spring, was created on my blog. I highlighted the title, and below is the info I pasted on the other site:

There is no link code at all in that post. How, exactly, are you creating a link, where are you creating it, and what are you expecting to see when you do?

<a href="http://purplepeninportland.wordpress.com/2014/04/12/false-spring/" title="False Spring" target="_blank">False Spring</a>I’m wondering if your issue isn’t browser related.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

I have just switched to Google Chrome, Version 34, which is on your list. I use an iMac. People from some of the sites I post on, tell me that my link is not working. I don’t know what else I can try. I have followed all your suggestions.
