Dennis has given the exact guidance. Follow it exactly. You will be able to do it.

Hi KirkW,
Could you give an idea of what you've done, and where it seemed to jump the rails?
Normally, as you write a post or a page, you highlight a word or phrase, then click on the icon that looks like a chain link at the top of the editor (4th icon from the right end of the top row).
A window will pop up asking you for the URL where you want to send the visitor. You enter the URL, and click "Add Link" at the lower right corner of the popup.
That's it. Your article should now have a link in it.
Note: the link isn't functional unless you preview or publish the article. When you click on the link in the preview (or live view), your link should work, however.
Let me know how it works out for you.
Dennis

Can you give me some more info and I will look into it
