  I am inserting a hyperlink using the toolbar, but when I preview my post, the place where the hyperlink is supposed to be is just blank space. I cannot figure out how to fix it. Please help!

  What is the link that you’re trying to insert?

  If you have this saved as a Draft, can you please tell me what the title is?

  the draft is What you think Really matters

  the hyperlink is supposed to say “here” with the link going to http://www.180movie.com I used the link button, and it shows up in my draft text with all the code, but when I go to preview, where the link is supposed to be is just a blank space.

  Here is what it looks like in my draft: here I have tried it both with and without the http:// at the beginning.

  Thanks!

  I can’t find the word “here” in that draft.

  Can you tell where it’s supposed to be so I can insert it?

  it should be after the sentence that reads They have made a movie that shows why that thinking is wrong. I challenge my readers to watch it here

  The part that is the link (and I am new at this, so please bear with me if I don’t use the right lingo) that starts at the should only be seen as the word “here” (without the quotes) I thought that when the link menu comes it and asks for the link, that the title part was what I wanted it to read when my post is finished. Obviously I don’t want all the code to be in the actual text, but I do want the word HERE to be in that place. Does that make sense? I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I was able to do a hyper link a while back, and then all of a sudden it no longer worked for me. I don’t think I changed what I was doing, but perhaps I am neglecting a step or something.

  Anyway, thanks!
