  You mean you want to link to it in a line of text on your page? It should be quite easy. First thing is you need to make sure your target page pathfinder weekend away is published. Then write your text and go to the icons in your editor. There’s an icon which looks like a pair of chains; if you click on it, you can insert the address of your pathfinder weekend away page in the url area, and click okay. That should be all there is to it.

  How do I make a link to another site?

  1. Make sure you have set the “Page Parent” field on the sub-page. Do this by going to Dashboard->Manage->Pages->Edit (for the sub-page/child page) then look for the “Page Parent” field in the righthand column.

  2. Place a link to the sub-page/child page on the parent page. Do this by going to Dashboard->Manage->Pages->Edit (for the parent page) and writing the link.

  edit: @CJ: i knew i took too long to write this…

  Okay, I’ve had a quick look at your blog and this is the page you want as the parent, right? http://stjohnsyouth.wordpress.com/pathfinders/

  When I look though I can’t find any obvious page that you want as the subpage; no Pathfinder Weekend Away page, for example. You’ve published this page to your blog? If you have the address to that page, all you need to do is add it in as the link using the icon; it sounds like you’re almost there.

  If you’re still having trouble, can you provide the address here so we can walk you through the rest?

  Okay, let’s say Ferny Crofts in the New Forest is the text you want to use for the link. In your editor, select Ferny Crofts in the New Forest with your mouse and while it’s highlighted, click the link icon (the one that looks like chains).

  A little box will pop up; you want to put http://stjohnsyouth.wordpress.com/pathfinders/pathfinder-weekend-away/ in the link url line and click update. Then save your page and it should display as Ferny Crofts in the New Forest.

  This is the exact code for the link; if you still have problems, you can just copy that and insert it in the code part of your editor and it will definitely work:
  <a href="http://stjohnsyouth.wordpress.com/pathfinders/pathfinder-weekend-away/">Ferny Crofts in the New Forest</a>

  I hope that’s clear enough. I think the problem before was that the page link didn’t quite match, so having it posted here to copy makes it exact. It should be quite simple and once you get it to work the first time, you shouldn’t have any problems after that. Hope it helps. :)
