  Existing links to external pages are no longer working; something is inserting my blog’s address in front of the target address. My blot is truestorieswelltold.com

  Here is an example of code in a current post:
  Stephanie is my  friend and colleague in the Association of Personal Historians. In this interview she reflects on

  But when you click that link on the blog, it takes you to:
  http://truestorieswelltold.com/www.personalhistorians.org

  The same is happening with every link on current and past posts–something is inserting http://truestorieswelltold.com/
  in front of every URL in every link in posts.

  Blogroll links are still working.

  Help!

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

  You are forgetting the “http://” in the HTML.

  Here is what you used as your example:

  Stephanie is my friend and colleague in the <a href="www.personalhistorians.org">Association of Personal Historians</a>

  Here is what it needs to look like:

  Stephanie is my friend and colleague in the <a href="http://www.personalhistorians.org">Association of Personal Historians</a>

  Which will give you:

  Stephanie is my friend and colleague in the Association of Personal Historians
