# External links are having wrong path

 * Hello all
 * When I put external links on my blog [http://www.fromtipstotoes.ch](http://www.fromtipstotoes.ch),
   they always redirects me to [http://www.fromtipstotoes.ch/”external_link”](http://www.fromtipstotoes.ch/”external_link”).
   For example: I want to link my facebook page in the sidebar, so I put the link
   with the html code “a href” in a html widget and save it. First it seemed that
   everything’s fine, the link is shown on my page. But when I click on it, it redirects
   me to [http://www.fromtipstotoes.ch/facebook.com/mypage](http://www.fromtipstotoes.ch/facebook.com/mypage)
   instead of [http://www.facebook.com/mypage](http://www.facebook.com/mypage)
 * Can anybody help me out? Is this kind of a permalink thing?
 * Thank you!
    Linda

 * Are you including http:// at the beginning of the external link?
