Well. I'm getting tired today, so, to finish I will explain to you how to insert a link in a post.
Write a website address or a word which may serve as a click button. Select the word or address with your mouse and click on the third icon on the list of tools above. A little window will open (please check pop-ups are allowed), write down the address and save.
Here you have an example: http:://www.anuskis-cyberenglish.blogspot.com
Save and view blog to see if it works!
Soon, I'll come back with more. Keep practising!
