  This is my second request for help in this matter and it has yet to be resolved. The problem I am having is linking another url in the middle of a paragraph, I use the link provided in the editor and it will only post the url and not the Name I have given the url that should be a clickable link. I have even looked at the document source of other blog users at WordPress and tried using their code to no avail. For example I tried this code:

  WordPress Blogs and all I get is a URL??

  A response to this little problem would be greatly appreciated.

  Much Thanks

  This is your first post in the WordPress.com forums. Can we have the URL of your WP.com blog, starting with http?

  Thanks, I had to check.

  If what you want is to link to a different post, use these instructions:

  How to write links

  If what you want is to link to a spot in the same post, farther down, use these:

  How do I page jump?

  Are you using the HTML editor or the Visual editor?

  Once again thank you for getting back to me so soon, I have yet to read the links you provided but will go there now. I am using the visual editor, shall I switch?
