  Hello, I’ve created new pages and am trying to add links to them, have tried the visual as well as the html link creators but for some reason they take the link out when updated and dont publish to the page. Is this something simple I’m missing as it doesnt seem like rocket science! Can you please help?

  Howdy,

  What URLs are you trying to use in your links?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  Could you walk me through the exact steps you’re taking?

  Hi I’m trying to add ie the URL to our website on our WordPress ‘Contact Us’ page..
  On the Edit Page – Visual the link option is greyed out so I can’t use it, I tried Alt-Shift-A which brought the Insert/Edit Link box up, ok so far but when I click Add Link it doesn’t do anything..same when I tried to input a link using the HTML option, as soon as I hit Update the link disappears and nothing shows up on the actual page..
  It has to be something simple, surely?

  Try typing in the words that you want to appear, then highlight those words and click the link button.

  That works! Thankyou – sorry to appear thick and I knew it must be something simple – it just doesn’t tell you to do it the way you’ve just shown me!
