  I added the link https://drshirleyblair.secure-client-area.com but when I click on the link it goes to http://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&q=https://drshirleyblair.secure-client-area.com. I did not add the google maps link. What is going on?

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

  Please be specific. Where did you add the link?
  https://drshirleyblair.secure-client-area.com

  In a post or a page on your blog?

  This is happening because you used the Contact Info widget, which you shouldn’t have done, and because the CI widget includes a “Show Map” option, which you didn’t disable.
  In the CI widget you enter what it says: address and phone number. You don’t use it for links and plain text. Remove the widget and add a Text widget instead. If you don’t know how to create a link in a Text widget, see here:
