A blog visitor asked me this question and I thought maybe other’s would like to know as well: How do I link a word or picture to another blog or website?

For TEXT

While inside the post body

• Select the word or words you want where the visitor will be able to click on them and have it link to another website address.
• Once the text is selected, then from the Post Body toolbar, click the little link icon (looks like an infinity icon). 
• It will pop up a little box where you can put in the address you want to go to when the text is clicked. 
• You’re done!

For IMAGE

• This is trickier. You have to go into Edit HTML view and do the following.
• Find the HTML code for your image.  Something like this (below). 

This is the image source and HTML code used to insert the image.
<p><img title="Blogsbyheather_3" alt="Blogsbyheather_3" src="https://blogsbyheather.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/6a00e553a87d55883300e5540362d48834-800wi.jpg" border="0" /> </p>

You need to edit this statement/HTML code to say this (for example, where www.blogsbyheather.com is where the visitor will be directed to when they click the image:

<a href=”https://www.blogsbyheather.com” target = “_blank”>
<p><img title="Blogsbyheather_3" alt="Blogsbyheather_3" src="https://blogsbyheather.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/6a00e553a87d55883300e5540362d48834-800wi.jpg" border="0" /> </p>
</a>

These <a> and </a> are called Anchor Tags in HTML.  The target="_blank" tells the browser to open the page in another window.  This is desirable because you don’t want to lose track of your blog. Meaning, you want your blog to stay open and open the desired URL in another Internet window.

• Then you can go back into Compose View and finish your post.

Hope this helps!
