The guide for creating links in posts and pages is here:

This is the general link model:
Highlighted anchor text here

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.

Whenever I place a link in my blog posts using html, the links don't operate properly. If I activate the post and click the link, it tries to connect the link to my blog. However, the link is external. How can I fix this problem?
