  Creating an HTML link in my blog using the usual formula – when I preview or post it however, my blog URL is added to the address.

  So… say:
  (Less than)a href(equals)(quote)www.atasite.org(quote)(Greater than)ATA(Less Than)(backslash)(Greater Than)

  once posted, the link ends up having my blog URL along with the one I put in the HTML link:

  http://hideoussunday.wordpress.comwww.atasite.org

  Anyone else having this problem? I looked to see if I left some stray code somewhere or something, but I didn’t do anything differently than I usually do. It’s only happened on the post I did today:

  Loud, Quiet, Loud

  Older posts seem fine.

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

  This has happened before for some people and I’m not sure what the fix was. What browser are you using, and on what OS (Mac or Windows XP, Vista or other)?

  You’re missing the http:// from the beginning of the link you’re trying to add.

  It needs to be http://www.atasite.org
