I would like to add a hyperlink to the marker so that when it is clicked (i do not want an infowindow to display) the user is sent to the relevant link (in this case a WP post).
According to the KML reference, this can be achieved by adding a url to the <description> tag, like this:
<description><![CDATA[http://www.globexposure.net/?p=115]]></description>
I can't get this working. Am i using the correct KML structure, or can you make a suggestion?
Many thanks
You need to use actual HTML within your description, i.e.
<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.globexposure.net/?p=115">my link</a>]]></description>
Actually, I just looked at this and just putting the URL into the description field works.
See for example: http://snippets.webaware.com.au/maps/example-toronto.kml

I have tried implementing the code you suggest on this post.
The kml i am using can be seen here:
http://www.globexposure.net/kml/110.kml
I suspect that perhaps the changes i make to the KML are not always being updated because it is cached by Google servers as explained here.
What do you think?
Yes, you need to add a parameter to the url to fool Google not to cache it... E.g. add ?v=1 and change the number each time you edit the kml file. I'll add that as a FAQ next time I release a new revision :)
