  I wish to have (empty) posts in my posts categories that take the visitor directly to an external link.

  I am using the free wordpress.com plan, Rowling Theme.

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

  Hi there,

  The closest you can get to this is to publish a post using the Link post format, which will send someone to the first link in the content of the post when the post title is clicked on the blog’s front page. But your theme does not support that post format.

  The other option is to write the post title as an HTML link, but that is not very good for SEO purposes, so keep that in mind if you decide to try that.
