 * Update: I found out that if I use the destination url for the text link ad then
   it works. When I was trying to make the link before I used the “code” instead
   of the “destination url”. Is using the “destination url” the right way to link
   from content?

 * How do you know if you have the right kind of link to put in the content? I tried
   putting a “text link” into my content using the method you posted and I got a
   404 error when I tried to use the link to go to the site I tried to link to. 
   The “text link” was from CJ.com. Do I need a “content link” instead?

 * Alright so in Writing Posts page where it shows the HTML bullet below:
 * -link – `<a href="http://example.com"></a>` HTML tag to create a hyperlink
 * Is this how I add a link in the text?
 * And in the Blog_Design_and_Layout page ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Good_Navigation_Links](http://codex.wordpress.org/Good_Navigation_Links)),
   is this how you link to outside pages:
 *     ```
       <li><a>">About My Blog</a></li>
       <li><a>">About Me</a></li>
       <?php wp_list_cats('exclude=2, 4'); ?>
       ```
   
 * ???
