Hi again,

I'm trying to add links in my portfolio as examples of my work, and it's not working. Can you tell me if I'm doing this correctly -- I go to "Add Media" and then Click on "Insert from URL." After I load the link & title, it doesn't work on the page. When I click on it, I keep getting an error message that says "Safari can't find the website," even though Safari always finds it when I go to it off my website. And I put in the correct address.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Hi Lisa,

Are you just adding a normal link or are you adding media with links?

If it's just normal links you can use the link button in text editor.

Let me know if this answers your question.

I'm adding a normal link to a website page. I thought I was using the link button! Can you tell me how I find the link button in text editor? Thanks! Sorry, I'm a tech idiot.
