# Links inside post not working

 * I am having trouble just linking “read more” to a document that would open in
   a new window. The site is [http://www.saccountyhealthservices.com/](http://www.saccountyhealthservices.com/)
   and on the front page under “What is Public Health” you see a “read more” down
   at the bottom and it is not linked.
 * When looking at the source it even says its not linked, however when I log into
   wordpress I can link it in the post, choose HTML view and it shows the href to
   the document. I have a feeling its something with the php file for that “middle.
   article” or maybe in the css just not sure where to start.
 * I tried using the read more button in wordpress and that does not work either.
 * Links do not work in the article next to it as well on the left “Sac County Health
   Services want to know” so I think it is something with those two posts or php
   files or something in the css over riding when I use the link button.
 * Any help is appreciated.
 * One more thing… when I actually go to the post itself -http://www.saccountyhealthservices.
   com/428/what-is-public-health-4/
 * the read more IS working.
 * this is the php from the middle.article
    <!–local news box started –> <div class
   =”midarticle”> <?php query_posts(‘cat=4&showposts=1’); ?> <?php while (have_posts()):
   the_post(); ?> <h2 class=”hpt”><?php echo the_title() ?></h2> <?php the_excerpt();?
   > <?php endwhile; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
 * </div>
    <!–end #midarticle–>

 * Nevermind everyone – i figured it out… I changed the <?php the_excerpt();?> to
   <?php the_content();?> and the link works fine now…
 * Thanks
