Okay, again and again I want to make a clickable link to a site, let's say this one: http://latextoppers.com/

I want to make this url a clickable link instead of the user having to copy and paste it into their browser.

So this is what I attempt to do by doing the following:
I put the link here: http://latextoppers.com/
Then I highlight that link by selecting it with my mouse, then I go to the LINK Icon in the above menu which looks like a chain link (the one on the left, 2nd one over from the mountain-and-sun icon for Image links.)

A window pops up asking me for the URL, I enter: http://latextoppers.com/ into that box. Then click "OK.
It turns the link blue like it should (see above) so all seems to be working just fine.

But then when I post my post and go to it in the list and click on the blue link (above) it opens up a blank page instead of opening up http://latextoppers.com/.

What on earth am I doing wrong? Or is this linking function just broken?
