# Adding external link to a post

 * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-external-link-to-post/)
 * I am trying to create posts with an external link. I have looked at my theme 
   settings, a number of plugins and the WordPress system itself, but nothing seems
   to provide the answer. Can anyone help?
 * I want to present my blog entries like this:
 * **Lorem Ipsum**
    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting
   industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since 
   the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to 
   make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also 
   the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. **_Read
   original article_…**
 * (where the bold italic is an external link to the original article.)
 * Can anyone please assist me in any way with any suggestions?
 * I am not really prepared to cut any code (i.e. edit .css, .php., .ini or other
   stuff).
 * Thanks & Regards

 * I’m using the plugin “Forget about shortcode buttons” to add buttons with external
   links.
 * Or don’t be anxious about simple codes and read: [https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp)
