Unable to insert links in my posts

  • Is anyone else having problems today inserting links into their posts. I wrote a post today and attempted to link to another blog. When I click the link icon, the box pops up like normal, except there is nothing in the section where you can use past content and when I type the url in directly and click update, nothing happens and it takes me back to my dashboard home page. Help please??

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hello there,
    Would you please try some troubleshooting?

    How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers.
