 * I need some help or advice
 * I have been trying to add Hyperlinks through WordPress and it does not seem to
   be working. I need some advice please? I tried to add links through the appropriate
   channels but it still doesn’t seem to work. Any help is appreciated. The pages
   below are that I am referring to.

 * suggestion: use the html/text editor not the visual editor
 * **basic format for any link to an external website**
    `<a href="http://www.lovemycreditunion.
   org/Sprint-169.html">Click here for a discount offer from sprint</a>`
 * **basic format to link an image to an external website**
 *     ```

 * both of the links worked okay exactly as you have them formatted in your support
   forum post.
 * ======
 * this is what I see in your website source code. are you using the text editor
   when you are creating the content?
 *     ```
       <p>Click here </a> for a discount offer from sprint
       <br />
       <br />

 * I am using the text editor and I update it and its saved. I don’t know where 
   it is going wrong? is there another way I am not doing to save it?
