What is the link you are entering for?
Is it an advertising link or an affiliate link?

This is 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.
Highlighted anchor text here

Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
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.)
Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

Thanks, but I still cant get the option to open in a new page to work properly since the link tab screws it all up, do you know the code for that?

Yes. See Creating HTML Hyperlinks (Links) in WordPress

Did you scroll down to > How to set links to open in a new window in the post I linked to?

Yes I saw that after I typed, sorry. There is no shortcut or link to have your email so people can just click on it and it automatically goes to their email composer, do you knw how to do that in wordpress?

the link tab screws it all up

The link tab works fine: you just didn’t pay attention to the other part of timethief’s reply.

If you want to create a link that says “my podcast”, for example, you type the phrase in the editor first, then you highlight it, then you click the link button to paste the URL in the popup (and the popup includes the option “Open link in a new window/tab”).

Yes but there’s no way I recommend posting one because it’s a spam magnet. I recommend using a secure contact form instead.
