   I am unable to create links inside the template
   example:
   'Twitter'

   Instead of creating a link to my users twitter account, wordpress is adding my sites url in front of the user submitted information. so the link ends up looking like "www.mysite.com/www.twitter.com/username"

   I am pretty sure I am overlooking something pretty simple. At least I hope that is the case.

   any help is appreciated, thanks so much!

   Hi
   you need to put
   http:// infront of the http://www.twitter.com/username
   so you have something like
   http://www.twitter.com/username

   Cheers

   Hi enejb

   You've helped me in the past with a couple of issues and was hoping you could again.

   I'm posting here becuase this is 'close' to the type of issue I'm having. I think.

   I have a contact list and some of those contacts (not all) have biography pages elsewhere in the wordpress site. I'd like to link to those pages for some of the people.

   However, like helphelpmehonda I'm getting strange URLs returned, or having the 'before element being incorporated into the URL thus breaking it.

   Here are a few test I tried;
   <div class ='user-info'>Bio</div>
   <div class ='user-info'>Bio</div>
   <div class ='user-info'>%website%</div>

   If I don't include the a href I don't get the hyper link.

   I mentioned that not all of the contacts have biographies becuase whilst I can code in 'Biog' in to the template it will simply appear in all instances with a link to the root page.

   Can you help this idiot?
