   Hello! I am just setting up my first WP blog and a problem has arisen and I hope someone here can help. I'm running the "Amazing Grace 3.0" template on WP 2.9.1 (the site is at: http://pound-a-week.com/)

   Following the directions given by the template developer, I inserted the following code into the header.php file to link to the two pages I created: "About Me" and "Contact Me"
   

   <ul>
   
   <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" >Home</a>
   
   <li><a href="http://www.pound-a-week.com/about">About Me</a>
   
   <li><a href="http:/www.pound-a-week.com/contact">Contact Me</a>
   
   </ul>

   The About Me link works perfectly; but the Contact Me link does not -- the link shows as http://pound-a-week.com/www.po.....om/contact (with the URL repeated twice) and, of course, leads to a Page Not Found message.

   I've compared the two lines of code and the permalinks on my Pages settings, and I cannot find anything different about them! What in the world am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

   I've tried leaving a message on the developer's site but have not received a response.

   Ooops! Never mind - I see what I did wrong -- I have only one slash after the http: in the contact line!

   It's amazing how one simple mistake can throw you off....
