 * In some of my posts on my blog, I need to direct the reader to other places on
   the net for further information, but I am not able to make it work.
    Now, this
   is what I do: This is an example: For example if I write about amerika, and about
   Christofer Colombus, I want to give a link to more information about Colombus.
   I find the page on the web, and copy the URL link. Then I highlight Cristoffer
   colombus in my bloggpost and push the link “buton” (above) Then I paste the URL
   link in the link “window”, and set the target “window” to open in a new window.
   and push “uppdate”.
 * The words Christofer Colombus is now blue, with an underlining.
    but when I touch
   the link I got this message : The webpage “www.http cannnot be found. I have 
   tried oyher links, but the same message comes upp. what do you sugest. There 
   is also mentioned a “refresh “button, but I do not find this. I need help, because
   it is important for me to get this to work properly.
 * Best regards

 * could be related to permalinks, theme, or plugins to start
 * 1. set permalinks to default, test your site see if things work. If they are 
   better, set your permalinks back to custom
    2. if that doesn’t work, test by 
   switching to default theme temporarily 3. if that doesn’t work test with all 
   plugins inactive
