RE: Inserting Hyperlinks into an existing Wordpress Post.

First, make sure you are logged into Wordpress. Then, go to the page you want to edit. In your case, it would be http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/red-flags-in-hawaii-2 .

Look up along the top of your post. You will see a bar that says, “My Account * My Dashboard * New Post * Edit Post * Blog Info.” Click on “Edit Post.”

The Editor program will load up with the post to be edited.

Highlight the text in the edit window that you wish to insert a hyperlink into by Left clicking on it and dragging the mouse while holding the button down. You will notice that a couple of the icons in the toolbar will suddenly become active. One of these looks like a link from a chain.

Click on the icon of the chain. A window will appear with an area for you to type in the link URL. Type it in (be sure to use the prerequisite “http://"; in the address).

Then, click on the “Insert” button.

That’s it. The link is now created.

Be sure to save and post your edit by clicking on the blue “Update” button over on the right of the screen.

That’s it.

If you have any more questions about Wordpress, don’t hesitate to ask me. I’ve been using Wordpress for almost four years now.

Cheers

Many, many thanks, Doctor Bulldog! I’ll see what I can do with it tomorrow (Lord willing).
