But it also has to kind of relate to the same topic of the blog post you want to link from.  To achieve this you simply highlight the words or word you want to use and turn it into a link that links to the blog post you want to link too.

Then when someone reads your content and comes across your clickable link, when clicked they will be directed to that other post on your blog. Without having to physically go and search the blog itself. Which is a great way to get people from one blog post to another blog post to another blog post? That’s what it’s called interlinking.
