 * Ack. For the last TWO days, I have been unable to add hyperlinks to any of my
   blog posts.
 * I can highlight the portion of text I want hyperlinked, but when I click on the
   hyperlink button, nothing happens–instead, “javascript:;” comes up on the bottom
   left corner of my screen.
 * HELP!!
 * (my blog is teachmama.com)

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Forgive my complete techy igorance, but what do you mean ‘all files and folders’
   and how do I do a fresh download of WP?

 * Use the big red Download button at the top of this page to download WordPress.
   Then [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) into your site (or use whatever
   file management application your host provides) and upload everything- except
   the wp-content folder – to the wordpress folder on the remote server.
