Once we decided what part of our post content we want to link to some page, we need to highlight that part and click on &#8220;<strong>Insert\/edit link<\/strong>&#8221; icon (shown on image below). For the purpose of this tutorial I will be linking &#8220;<strong>WordPress<\/strong>&#8221; to official WordPress website (<a title=\"wordpress.org\" href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">wordpress.org<\/a>).
