  I am getting the basics down, but need to know how I would go about
  turning a link name such as
  http://kescott45.wordpress.com/?page_id=43

  Into ATHLETES, for example. I dont want that long link seen, I need
  just the name I give it to go to the link.

  Any help would be great.
  Thanks again

  Simply change the text as you need to.

  Thanks. I did that but it doesnt change anything. I am probably missing something.

  I put in
  Athletes
  And that is how it stays.
  What am I missing?
  Thanks and sorry for the ignorance

  edit: As I read my message, I realize that it worked here, the way I wanted it to work. the word
  Athletes comes up for the link. It doesnt do that however when I put it on my page. Same question

  Never mind. I figured it out. I wasnt plaing it in the HTML area. When I did that, it worked

  Thanks again
