1. Start by looking at the latest myDebug-xxxxxx.log files. The most recent ones contain the errors that are happening presently. Deal with those first.
If there are "so many" then that strongly indicates you've got issues in your customizations that need attention.

2. If by "how to add a link" you're asking how to insert a URL using some sort of rich-text editor, and you don't like the URLs it's generating, then you'll need to flip the editor into "source" or "text-only" mode and edit the URL to what you want it to be.

Where do I go to flip the editor into "source" or "text-only?" Pages editor only gives me the choice of "plain text" or "CKEditor."

Two options:
a) use that pulldown and select Plain Text Editor
or
b) If you've got CKEditor open, click the "Source" button in the button bar to look at the plain text version of the HTML code, directly in CKEditor

I went to 'My Store' 'HTML editor' and 'plain text' is chosen. I'm still not able to insert a url that is not in the store. What am I missing in your instructions?

Using the code tag on this site (starts with a aquare parentheses and ends with the same but all capital word of code)

 text that is added

these examples are shown with the text all lower case because if they are all capital then the board will convert them.

Show us what it is that you are adding that is off site. Also may want to add spaces between each letter of the url so that it is not linked when posted.

<a href="b e c o m e - a - c o a c h . h t m l">

shows up as h t t p : / / w e b s i t e n a m e . c o m / s t o r e f o l d e r n a m e / b e c o m e - a - c o a c h . h t m l

I don't want 's t o r e f o l d e r n a m e' showing up in the url as that goes to 404 page.

I put spaces in as you suggested (if I understood you correctly).

You understood enough :)

So, there are still two things about that. Yes, as written it will prefix your store's info. At least I think you need to add http:// or possibly just //. That said, though, uri's should really not be hard-coded like that and should use the zen_href_link code. But that code if I remember correctly is still going to create a reference to your local store (hence the suggestion to use an ez-page), but will help things out when using say a uri rewriter and make it easier to modify in the future as you can have one link in the ezpage that you can change rather than changing it on each and every page that uses that same. External reference.

Make sense now?
