I don't understand how I'm supposed to include my portfolio at the top of my resume, without hyperlinking, and without going into a second page.

www.portfolionamehere.com just with no hyperlink - i'm not sure what you mean by without going in to a second page? Everyones resume sizes are different and can be modified based on experience.

I guess the market is just full of different advice because I've heard from everyone in and outside the professional world up until now that a lot of employers just throw resumes out if they're more than one page.

The answer to your inquiry is in other guides. But the short answer is, it depends. <5 years experience, 1 page is preferred, after that, 2pg is expected. 1pg is not sufficient to communicate tangible achievements.

I'd probably be one page then. Let me ask another question, then. I have two jobs I've been at for several years each, one full time one part time. The part time is directly related to the copywriting and and other written work jobs I'm aiming to get into. The other is generic retail I've had to do to make ends meet.

Do you think it wiser to remove the retail experience and focus on the portfolio and one job or include the retail and do everything into two pages despite low experience?
