   I added a text widget to my sidebar that contains a link to one of my posts. While the HTML code for the link is correct, the hyperlink doesn't work.
   Link= http://thomascwaters.com/?p=1157

   But goes to http://thomascwaters.com only. Is the "?" causing the issue? How do I work around this? To see the bload/ text as it is displayed http://thomascwaters.com

   http://thomascwaters.com/?p=1157
   works for me and goes to the page

   the url is without pretty permalinks which is why the ? - that's normal

   if you would like to modify how the url's look you can

   you access your permalinks in wordpress admin
   settings - permalinks

   Did it"work for you" simply following the link, or following it from the widget as displayed on my homepage? The link id fine, and works for me too. but it fails when I hit it from the widget displaying it on my homepage.

   Looks like the links in your text widgets are malformed.
