Yesterday I had coffee with one of my new Wealthy Affiliate friends. She joined this February and is sailing along fairly smoothly. However she mentioned to me that often tutorials missed some initial basic information and that made the tutorial information pretty hard to follow.

Her current issue was doing basic links. Now I didn’t find this a problem as I have done hyperlinks for years during my non-retired years. So I have put this information together in my so called ‘Step by Step’ method and posted it in case anyone else is having problems getting started.

I am using a post I am currently constructing as I might as well get something done while I comprise this tutorial.

And a p.s. to this is when you want to remove or change a link just click on the broken chain. Go figure!

You too jewel. Now back to wrestling with other things.

Do you know how to get technical support other than website? I am having trouble with JavaScript, cookies and dns. I expect it might be all related. As you might imagine this is very frustrating.

To start with I generally work in Chrome but often use Edge, Chrome and Firefox when working. I have checked all these search engines and my JavaScript and Cookies are enabled.

1. When I comment on a site via the notifications requesting comments or profile sites of people I follow and try to post the comment I get the attached message. At least one person that tried to comment on mine got the same message.

When I comment through the Comment Box in the Siterubix area the comment is accepted but doesn’t show up on the relevant site/s.

2. When I follow Amazons linking advice I get the attached message.

Jewel, I did put a question in a while ago but got no answers. I am doing the rounds at the moment. Nathaniell told me to flush my dns so I did. Just going in to check it out.

It turned out it was all caused by Carson's fooling around fixing the spamming problem!

Thank you very much for sharing. I have used WP in my previous experience, but I can say your friend is right: if you have never used before, you miss part of the training.
I always want my links to open in a new tab, but I have discovered that when I update my WP, I lose this option! Do you know why? Thanks! Ciao!

Laura, no I don't know why. Try asking the community. Generally you want your internal links NOT to open in a new tab as that isn't a problem. When you go outside your site to someone else's site eg Amazon you want it to be in a new tab so your visitors return to your site when they leave the external site.

What Loes did you fall asleep at the computer last night!. Thank for your comment. I had to take a double look at linking now they have changed the format.
