If you look at the popularity contest list on my blog (http://theincidentaleconomist.com) you will see that one item lost its hyperlink. It turns out that item is a page, not a post.
I'd actually like to exclude pages from the popularity contest (Alex King's--http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/popularity-contest). That would trivially solve the hyperlink issue.
Another solution would be to fix the hyperlink. I have no idea how.
Thanks in advance for your ideas. (You can assume I don't know very much so being explicit would be of great help. Feel free to contact me through my blog if you're willing to hold my hand on this one.)
