  Hi,

  I’m having a problem with inserting a link into the body of my “ABOUT” page. This is what I do:

  1: Type Fresh Lifestyle Properties
  2: Highlight Fresh Lifestyle Properties
  3: Click on insert/edit link
  4: Type in the URL http://www.freshprop.co.za
  5: Save and update.

  what happens is that when you go into the post and you want to click on the link it does not send you to http://www.freshprop.co.za it send you to http://elproperty.wordpress.com/about/www.freshprop.co.za
  and this does not exist.

  When the reader clicks on the link how can i get it to open in a new tab automatically and how can i get it to open the right page?

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

  Hi there. I just tested the link on your About page and it took me to the right website without redirecting. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies and also check if the same thing happens if you use a different browser. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

  Yes, I got that :) The email showed your response correctly, but the forum seems to have added it back.
