Pages and making direct links
-
On my sidebar at http://davidstrege.com, I have several links in pages; for instance, one goes to outdoor stories. If you click on one of the stories listed among the outdoor stories and another window pops up with the same title and you have to click on it again to get to the story. I’m sure there is a way to just have the story pop up when it is clicked on the first time, but I don’t know how. Could you please tell me? Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Those are Previews called mShots. You can just disable them so one click takes you straight to the page: disable them under Appearance->Extras.

Easy enough, but does this reverse what has already been done, or do I have to re-post everything. I disabled them and the second link page still appears. Thank you!

Unfortunately, you’re wrong. Those Mshot previews gives a preview of the website when you put the cursor over it on the home page. Any other suggestions?

Oh, I see now. It’s easier in future if you post a link directly to that page.
What you’ve done is not build a bunch of pages. Instead, you’ve built a series of static pages with uploaded Microsoft Word documents. You have a lot of work ahead of you to fix this.
You will have to open each document, copy all the contents, Edit each static page and paste the contents in using Paste from Word, on the advanced toolbar which you get by clicking the last icon on the right of the toolbar. You MUST do that, otherwise Word will add incredible errors to your site and potentially make it unuseable.
It’s also a good idea to read this:

It’s simple, it’s just a lot of work because you have to do it for each one. It sounds harder than it actually is.
In future, if you want to compose offline and then upload, use Windows Live Writer, which is free and works just like Word without causing these kinds of problems.

OK, I get the visual editor. I can open a newly created “page” title it, but…How do I put a list of links on that page so when you click on it, it’ll take you to another page with the link’s contents, in this case, a feature story? Any help is most appreciated. Thank you.

Oops! Sorry, forgot to add the proper mark to make the code show up.
