How to create a hyperlink in your Wordpress Post

I received a blogging question this evening from Monika who uses a self-hosted Wordpress platform for her blog.  Her question is:

Paul, when I place a URL in my page writing, it does not hyperlink. It needs to be cut and pasted by visitors, which is awkward. What do I need to do to make this a “workable, clickable” link? Thanks for your help.

Hi Monika!  In order to create “workable clickable” link you need to create a “hyperlink”.  Hyperlinks are really the backbone and foundation of the web.  One webpage linking to another webpage.  In order to do this we need to take ordinary text and turn it into a link. Please watch this tutorial below for a demonstration of how to do this using Wordpress.  If you have any other questions, please comment on this post and I’ll do my best to help.
