  I have put in my links again and again and most of them are not publishing from the draft. Can you help me get these to publish? Why is the link breaking when I go to publish?

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

  We have code restrictions at wordpress.COM. No javascript or iframe embeds from unsupported sources or third party advertising codes can be used on any wordpress.COM hosted sites.

  If you are not adept at coding then create a draft post that you will later delete and do the link creation in it. After you use the Visual editor click into the HTML editor and copy and paste the content into a text widget.

  See 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 here in the forum.
  Highlighted anchor text here

  1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice. Use relevant anchor text to link to.
  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.

  You have yet to set up this site.

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multi user software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/hemingway-rewritten/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://hemingwayrewrittendemo.wordpress.com/

  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
