  I have a post (http://twofoodiesinlove.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/mythos-islands-of-adventure-universal-studios-orlando/#more-211) that won’t let me add two links (there are already several other links in the post). There is a link missing in the first paragraph after “to” and another one missing in the next to last paragraph after “via.” When I go into “edit post” in the text editor, the tags are there. When I go over to the visual editor, the links are NOT there and the “insert/edit link” button is grayed out and won’t let me click it. The keyboard shortcut doesn’t work either. Have I hit some kind of character limit for this post? Why can’t I add these two links?????

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

  Are you copying and pasting links?

  This is 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
  Highlighted anchor text here

  Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
  Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
  Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

  Thanks. I input the HTML manually instead of using the WordPress tools and now it works. Sometimes I hate computers. lol
