  I am very frustrated. Every time I try and add a link to another blog post in my new post it won’t let me. I have searched everything and no answer. The link button will not light up to click on so I am manually adding links in and it doesn’t look so great. Not sure what to do.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  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.

  P.S. Make sure that you are running one of the browsers and versions of them found here http://browsehappy.com and you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/ If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode then disable that mode > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
