How to Insert a Link in a WordPress Blog Post

Inserting links in a blog post sometimes gets frustrating to bloggers. I assured the last blogger who was having linking problems that I would write a blog post with instructions on how to insert a link in WordPress.

You see the three words in the last paragraph – “insert a link”? There is a blog post on HighDesertBlogging.com about high traffic linking. I went to the URL of that blog post, highlighted it, hit right click and copy then came back to this post and highlighted “insert a link” then clicked on the “Insert/edit link” icon. Next a window popped up where I pasted the URL. Often, there is already an “http” in the window, so I always delete it when pasting the URL.

Next in the pop-up window is a place with a box and this phrase, “Open link in a new window/tab”. I checked the box then clicked on “Add Link” at the bottom of the pop-up page which brought me back to this post I’m currently working on.

Pretty easy, right? There are also some shortcuts that Authormedia.com offers in a helpful cheat sheet that I recommend. Try them. You may like using these keyboard shortcuts. They are good to know and might make linking less complicated for you.

Happy Linking!
