  When I click on an address I’ve used highlighting another blogger’s post, it does not correctly go to that page. It seems to redirect back to my page. Newbie here, need guidance.

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

  You have to use your mouse to highlight the anchor text first in your post or page and then the link icon becomes active in the editor.

  This is the general link model:
  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a
  This is the visual result but as it’s just an example it’s not actually linked to a page:
  Highlighted anchor text here</a

  Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
  Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text.
  Next click the chain icon in the Visual editor and proceed to create the link.
