  I just want to link to my previous post. For some reason I’m not able to do any linking whatsoever, I’ve tried linking to existing content and to outside content and nothing shows up, the title text isn’t even there in the preview. Anyone else have this problem? I feel like it’s something really simple.

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

  • Copy link

  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 – it’s not actually linked here in the support forums thread.
  Highlighted anchor text here
  1. Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
  2. 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.)
  3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
