  I know this has probably been covered before, but I cannot find it in the forums. I’m an idiot who is very new to HTML, and I need to know how to make plain text into a link to an outside page. I found the following forumla:

  <a= href”URL”>text

  but it is not working for me. Please help!

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