  I found this info in the support section about how to link previous posts to a current post. That way you can provide a link in your new post instead of having to repeat all the info again and you can go into more detail.

  Thanks bats0711 your opinion means a lot especially since I’m a new writer, finding my feet. I will try this method. Strange there is a whole section on adding links but it didn’t come up when I searched….

  Hello you two,
  I think what you are referring to is found here.

  Easier Internal Linking
  You’re writing a post (or a page) in WordPress. You mention something you’ve written about before, and think to yourself, “I’m going to link to that last post!” What do you do? You might open a new tab and search for the older content in your dashboard’s list of posts, or you might go to your live blog and find it. Either way, you have to find that content and get the URL, so that when you click on the link button in the post editor, you’ll have it ready. Right? What’s that, 5-8 steps, depending on which way you do it? No more! http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/linking-sorting-paging/
