    I finally figured out what I was doing wrong when putting links in posts. Silly me was putting the words I wanted to appear outside the square brackets and creating a link with no words to click on.

    So for any other people needing a super-basic linking walkthrough, you put the words you want to show in square brackets followed immediately by the link in normal brackets. [words](link)

      I usually type the word(s) I want to be clickable, highlight it/them… click the link icon, then immediately paste the link.

        Which is a very sensible thing to do. I was going with pasting the link and then clicking the icon which was really not working for me. I’m slowly learning.
