# Inserting links in text

 * When my blog was first set up a few months ago I could insert hyper links using
   the ‘linked chain’ icon – in the last few days each time I try to insert a link
   the box that appears just freezes. After a few seconds if I pass the mouse over
   the insertion box the mouse usually ‘sticks to’ the box and now the mouse is 
   stuck on the box – nothing can be done except closing WP and reopening.
 * Any suggestions anyone – at this point I can’t insert any hpyer links into my
   text. I know there is a manual method but I’d prefer not have to use it as it
   is more time consuming (and I don’;t know how to do it)
 * In hope
