I'm using a modified version of Elegant Grunge, with a link in the footer to the design team that created the modifications. The footer text should say "Redesigned by XYZ Design Group" and link to http://www.xyzDesign.com. Instead it's linking to http://www.mySite.com/www.xyzDesign.com. Needless to say, that link goes nowhere.
Does anyone know why the theme is prepending the site URL to this footer link? It doesn't do it to any of the other links in the footer.
The code for the incorrect link is:
<div class="legal" align="left"><?php echo get_option("copyright"); ?></div>
<div class="credit" align="right"><a href="www.xyzDesign.com" target="_new">Design by XYZ Design Group.</a>
