# Visual vs. HTML Editing

 * I have posted before about trouble with Editing. I never get a response through
   these forums, but since I targeted my problem a little bit, I thought I’d try
   once more.
 * When I use the Visual Editor and insert a link to a piece of text in heading 
   format (h2), as well as a thumbnail, then switch over to the HTML editor, the
   anchor for the hyperlink does not appear. When I switch back to the Visual Editor,
   the text suddenly appears unlinked – like I had never done anything.
 * When I insert the anchor on the html side FIRST and then switch to Visual, everything
   works fine.
 * Any advice? I’d like to stick to the Visual Editor as my primary…
 * Thank you!
