  • Copy link
  • Add topic to favorites

  On my WordPress.com blog, I have the Follow Blog Widget on my right sidebar. When someone pushes the “Follow Blog” button, it automatically directs them to my blog’s Facebook page. Also, I have the Categories Widget in my right sidebar as well. I want to have the “Dropdown” view set up, but when someone tries to view the dropdown list, it automatically directs them to my blog’s Twitter account. What is going on?

  • Copy link

  None of your link tags were closed in your “We’re Social!” widget.

  They were like this:

  <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/SatinSnowflakes"><img src="http://everthinedesign.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/image005.png" width="50">

  But, they should be like this:

  <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/SatinSnowflakes"><img src="http://everthinedesign.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/image005.png" width="50"></a>

  Without the closing tags, the links just continue to cover a large area until the next closing tag is encountered.

  I took care of this for you, so it’s all fixed up now.
