   Good day
   I'm trying to link a word or phrase to one of my posts, like described here:
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
   (paragraph 4)

   However I don't get option for the search box.
   Instead when I highlight my word or phrase, I get a popup that gives me options for:

   Link URL
   Title
   Target
   Class

   I don't get "Link to existing site content".

   Is there something wrong or is it because I'm using the self hosted version it's different? If so, how might I do it?

   Thanks!

   that page is for WordPress.com blogs, not self hosted ones.

   that functionality is coming in version 3.1 though.

   Thanks mate. In the meanwhile, what do I need to do to link my posts to my keywords or phrases? Is there a page with instructions?

   Linking now? I'm not linking anything, mate. The option I can access using the link button only lets me link to external URLs. I'm trying to link to my own posts.

   you can add a link to your post via that as well, same as any external site, you just need to know the URL

   Idiot! Why didn't I think of that! Thanks mate it's working perfectly.

   One last question: what is the link class?
   hiddenSpellerror
   hiddenGrammarerror
   hiddenSuggestion
   etc

   I can't find a straight answer to it on the net. I find references to CSS and people praising that functionality, but not exactly what is IS.

   I take it I don't have to really worry about it as what I want is working fine. But I'm curious anyway.

   Once again thanks!

   First highlight the phrase or word you want to link to.
   The click on the "insert/ edit link" button.
   It brings up an option window that lets you

   Link URL
   Target
   Title
   Class --> drop down menu

    all i see is:

    • aligncenter
    • alignleft
    • alignright
    • wp-caption
    • wp-caption-dd
    • wpGallery
    • wp-oembed
    • alignnone
    • wp-smile

    So the others are possibly being added by a theme or plugin.

    Hi Rich

    Thanks again.
    Well, where do I find out what even those do? Such as WP-caption, alingone, etc?
