   I'm having trouble creating external links on my site.

   Whenever I create a link on a page using HTML, the link looks fine but then it wont link to the right page.

   The HTML I enter looks like this:

   a href="www.(website-I-want-to-go-to).com">here</a

   (I've removed the outside <> from this as it was being displayed as a link).

   But the URL I end up at when I click it is:

   www.(website-page-the-link-is-on).co/www.(website-I-want-to-go-to).com

   Not surprisingly, I get a 404.

   What am I doing wrong and how do I fix this? Any advice would be appreciated.

   Leigh

   Thanks so much. I thought it'd be something as simple as that but I just couldn't work it out.

   Thanks for your help.
