If you want to enter functional HTML, you need to use the Text editor tab. This particular functionality has never changed, but the HTML tab was renamed to "Text" recently.

Whether I'm using basic HTML invented in the 90s, or using their little link button, WordPress isn't working.

It might have something to do with the fact that they are constantly reformatting every aspect of their software, which seems completely psychotic to me, as they had a very useful product to begin with. I regret having given them any of my money, and I feel like I hate their guts with a blind rage I have not experienced before.

WordPress, please allow people to make links. For crying out loud.

The blog is
uribotanicalgardens.wordpress.com
The post is
http://uribotanicalgardens.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/getting-back-to-my-chores/

OK, I just recreated the links and they worked. I am working from a different computer --don't know if that makes a difference.
I also noticed that an old post (I don't use them often) had links which worked when I created the post but were not working today.

A fellow blogger suggested to me that the link would not function until I hit the "publish" button

Links aren't be clickable unless you click the "Preview" button to view your post or page in a new browser tab or window. Links are also clickable once you publish the page. They are not clickable in the Visual or Text Editor.

Once published, the link DOES open a new page, but it says "This page not found" or "topic related searching".

Could you please provide a link to a post where you're having this problem so I can take a look? Thanks.

The reason I have the address written out as you have pointed out above is because I could not get a link to work. I will try it again, typing instead of copy/pasting (why?) and see if it will work.
Thank you.

OK, followed your instructions on the links-support page and as directed in your answer above. Using Visual, not Text tab. Getting blue, underlined text which does not function as a link.

That's not the format for an active link.

This is the format for an active link without anchor text:
<a href="http://uribotanicalgardens.wordpress.com/2012/10/15/changing-seasons/</a>
It produces this result:

This is the active link with anchor text:
Changing Seasons

I don't copy and paste links into posts and pages. Is that what you are doing?

I do what's in this guide to 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>

Enter your anchor text you want to link to first.
Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text.
Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

I am not able to create working links anymore on my blog.

Yes, many users don't know about the title attribute: in fact, a rather common complaint here is from users who fail to type anything in the post (as you correctly did), enter the URL and the title only, and then wonder why their links are invisible.

I could swear I had been careful with the https earlier, but maybe something got past me. I didn't realize that's what the "title" was for, so thank you for filling me in.

2) Yes it does matter if you have one http or two or none: the one will give a valid and working link, the others won't.

3) What had happened is that you had pasted the complete URLs (starting with http) after the http that's already there in the URL field as a suggestion. Now you removed the links and did them again more carefully, so you avoided duplicating the http. Nothing to do with the title.

4) Yes, the title is optional, and it's not supposed to be what we see on the post: it's extra info that shows up upon hover, so one can tell what the link is without having to click on it. There's no point entering "this" as the title: your titles in this case should be "YouTube video" or something like that.

I don't think it had anything to do with the https, but this time I re-wrote the linked word in the box where it says "title". Yes, that seems to have been the issue. Strange, considering filling it the "title" is supposed to be optional?

However, when I then go to my published blog and try to click on the links, not only does no new window open, but the page that opens says "Oops! Google Chrome could not find http".

Why is this not working? It seems like it should be so simple...
