hyperlink not working

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am a relatively newcomer on wordpress. I am trying to place a link on my wordpress blog and the desired page is uploaded at the geocities website.
    While editing my post I managed to create a hyperlink using the tag

    The link got created successfully, however on viewing the saved changes when I click on that link it points to a long url starting with my wordpress blog address. The page is never opened. I am not able to understand why is wordpress adding its url before my url (as seen in my browser’s status bar). Also I noticed some javascript error everytime I use the editor for creating a link.
    After several hours of trial and error I finally gave up on the pretext that something is wrong with wp. Please help. Thanks in advance.

    At a guess I would say that when you created the link you started it with www.

    It needs to have http:// at the start of it to tell the browser that it is a hyperlink to a different site and not one within your blog.

    Can you give a link to where you are having the problem?

    Not sure why this got posted twice into two different threads. I’m going to close this one and direct everybody to the other one.
