  On my blog, THE AMERICAN LIBERAL JOURNAL, I have an entry in the right hand sidebar entitled, “My Other Blog” and the link I have written in there is alive on the Chrome Browser but not on the Firefox Browser. Have I used the wrong widget or something? Anyone who can help – – – I will me most sincerely grateful.

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

  You need to put the code in to make it a live link.

  Huh, it didn’t show the code, WEIRD.

  < a href="http://thelimingview.blogspot.com" >http://thelimingview.blogspot.com < /a>

  Only take out the spaces between the < and the next letter or symbol.

  This isn’t the issue, but is something I will suggest. Create a custom menu on your site and then use submenus for some of your menu items. With a flexible width theme like you are using, your menu right now overruns some stuff in the sidebar if a browser window is narrow. I would suggest putting the following items as submenu items perhaps under your “about” menu item.

  comment policy
  general disclaimer
  terms and conditions for site use
  fair use statement

  Right now the menu being two or three lines is way too hard to navigate.

  Replace the code in your text widget with this.

  It’s not a live link. You need to open the text widget and replace it with this link then click “save” and “close”.
  <a href="http://thelimingview.blogspot.com">The Liming Liberal Democrat </a>

  When you do that this live clickable link will be the result:
  The Liming Liberal Democrat
