Problem with links
-
For some reason, every link I’ve created for this post (http://littlepawsdachshundrescue.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/thanks-to-our-auction-supporters/) is putting the blog website address in front of the website I really want.
It seems fine in draft mode and I haven’t had this happen on other websites.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
This is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked.
Highlighted anchor text here1. Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.More here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/05/20/creating-html-hyperlinks-links-in-wordpress/

I’ve blogged for quite some time and know how a link should work…
My top listing of stores in that aforementioned blogpost shows in the text editor as:
</span>20 Mile Stand
Bainbridge Farm Goods
Camp Chickaree
Moonlight Primatives
Refined Inspirations
Shop DeziLuAs you can see – done correctly. When the post is published (using the first store as an example), I get this: http://littlepawsdachshundrescue.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/thanks-to-our-auction-supporters/www.etsy.com/shop/20milestand
Does anyone know why this could be happening and how to stop it?

It’s not showing up correctly in the forums either.
a) make sure there is not an extra http in front of the link when you put it in. That is the #1 cause of this error.
b) make sure that the links are nothing like ads and dont’ include any affiliate code, because if they do that might be in violation of the ToS and might have triggered their anti-commercial software to mess with the links.

Looking at the sheer number of links on that page, I’d think the latter would be the issue here. If that’s the case, you’ll need to work with staff.
-
I’ve checked all the links – and there isn’t an extra http anywhere.
No ads either. I’m linking to Etsy shops (and a few independent websites) for people that donated to our dog rescue’s annual auction.
-
I’ll flag this for staff to take a look and make sure it’s whitelisted. Donations for a charity should be okay.

It looks like your links are incomplete.
For each link, instead of
www.etsy.com/shop/BainbridgeFarmGoodsyour links should look like this:
(note: the ‘ ‘ marks are to make sure the link doesn’t auto-correct to include the http:// in this post. :) )
