 * When I insert a hyperlink into the text of a post the link works but when I hover
   over it, it says entertheblog.com/9b instead of the URL of the link.
    Is there
   a way to get it to display the URL of the link? This is the HTML code i’m using;#
   a href=”[http://www.xyz.uk/folder/folder”>latest](http://www.xyz.uk/folder/folder”>latest)
   Mobile Broadband</a#
 * (obviously the URL i’m actually using is different and i’ve replaced the <‘s 
   with #s)
