If you are using the visual editor you write whatever word it is you want to be linked, then you highlight it, then in the link box that pops up you put the actual link starting with http, select whether you want it to open in a new page or not, give some alt text for the link, and click done.

Are THOSE the steps you are following? And when you use a link, you must use the http:// in the front or it won't work. That's what's wrong with your link to the blog in your reply to TT. That could be what is wrong with your link when you're writing it.

This is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
This is the visual result but as it's just an example it's not actually linked to a page:
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.
  3. Next click the chain icon in the Visual editor and proceed to create the link.

Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.

Next click the chain icon in the Visual editor and proceed to create the link.
Once you have done that then you switch to the Text (HTML) editor and copy the code. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/#switching-editors
Paste that code your copied into a text widget.
Lastly, delete the draft post.

Created the text directly in the "'text" widget, not the new post box so I didn't see a way to do this.

I am having the same problem as myslenstwo. I would like to like make links with titles (of prior posts or articles) or words but I can't seem to find clear instructions or I just don't understand. When I follow the instructions in the help section; I get some blank page wth one line stating no link found.

The other problem is layout.

Finally is there live help?

Let's say I am mentioning something, that I have already explained in full elsewhere in my blog. I would like to be able to put following information: "More on this topic you will find here" and when a reader clicks on "here" they are automatically moved to another post that explains the issue in more depth.

I have seen people doing this in their blogs - but have no idea how to do it myself.

is it at all possible without being IT magician?
