  Hi, hopefully someone can help…

  I use a text widget on my page (https://mcastmusic.wordpress.com) to list all the artists I feature in my blog/podcast, with hyperlinks to other content I have posted in the past by them.

  You can see the code I use here… https://mcastmusic.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/screen-shot-2016-03-14-at-22-17-25.png

  For some strange reason the code isn’t working anymore, it’s been working for years until this week.

  I tried adding a new artist, Distant Echoes, using the same line of code I use for every other artist, but when I hit save the line of code is saved as…

  Distant Echoes,

  instead of…

  Distant Echoes,

  which is how I input it.

  Can anyone help please.

  Thanks in advance :-)

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

  Then see the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  This is the general link model:
  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

  This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
