  Is your blog private? We can’t see that; it just takes us to a signup page.

  Can you be more specific?

  Because you’ve put the URL both as the reference and the title. The link code should be:
  <a href="URL_HERE">VISIBLE_TEXT_HERE</a>
  Or, if you want it to open in a new window:
  <a href="URL_HERE" target="_blank">VISIBLE_TEXT_HERE</a>
  Another, easier, way is to write the text first (e.g. your “here”) in the post editor, highlight it, click the link button and add the URL.
