WordPress is a blogging platform that has gained 18 million users through its user-friendly theming system. As a blogger, you can write on multiple blogs and choose the appearance of their posts. You can also easily update your blog by adding text, images or links from a computer or a mobile phone. Links are a common way information is shared through social media sites and blogs. Website links connects information to a blog by embedding a URL address in a blogger's text that the reader can click on to arrive at the URL address. This article will show you how to add a link to WordPress Blog. Our WordPress Customer Support Team has provided these simple steps so that you can easily learn to add a link to your blog.

  1. Sign into your WordPress blog account. If you do not have a WordPress blog, go to the WordPress home page and click on the orange button that says "Get Started Here". It will take you through the sign up process.
  2. Click on "My Account" on the left side of the tool bar at the top of the page.
  3. Scroll down your dashboard. Your dashboard is the list on the left side of the page. Find the "Posts" Tab. This will bring you to a menu of all of your blog posts. You can either click on the title of a post to add a link to an existing post, or click the blue "Add New" button next to the "Posts" header at the top of the page. You will be taken to the Visual Editor that allows you to easily format text for your posts.
  4. Type in the text you want to lead to your link and then highlight it using your cursor, or highlight the text that is already written. Note: You can simply paste the URL address of the link into your post; however, it is a more popular practice to hyperlink words that a user can select by clicking text.
  5. Click the "Insert/Edit Link" button on your formatting toolbar above your text box. The icon looks like 2 connected chain links. A pop-up box will appear.
  6. Paste the URL address into the first box. Choose a title for the URL in the second box. Note: Title will not appear in your blog post; it will appear when a reader hovers over the link with a cursor. The link will automatically be underlined in your text to let the reader know there is a link.
  7. Choose if you want the link to open in a new tab in the check box below your link. This is often preferable, because if a user clicks a link, it may take them away from your blog.
  8. Link WordPress posts from your own blog in a similar way. When the link pop-up box appears, click on the words "Or Link to Existing Content". This will bring up your previous posts and allow you to link to that post. You will probably not want to check the box that opens the link in a new tab.
  9. Click the blue "Update" button on the bottom of your post editing page to update/save the post to your blog.
