  I have a page called “YouTube Channel” on my WordPress site (robertmac.com). I want that page to automatically direct to my YouTube channel, and have put that YT link in the WP permalink. However, when I paste the link, the dots (.) turn into slashes (/) and the slashes disappear.

  http://www.youtube.com/user/ROBERTMACdotCOM/videos
  ends up looking like this:
  httpwww-youtube-comuserrobertmacdotcomvideos/

  –and, of course, the link doesn’t work.

  Is there another way to have my page open to a specific url?

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I see that you’re already using a Custom Menu on your site. The easiest way for you to link to your YouTube channel from your site’s menu is to add a custom link in your menu (instead of linking to a page on your WordPress.com site).

  You can edit your custom menu by going to Appearance > Menus in your dashboard. From there you can add a custom link — we have additional instructions for adding custom links here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
