 * Hi Folks,
 * Since the last update when I type in/copy and paste html code into either an 
   existing or new page the code just doesn’t work. This is also the same for widgets.
 * The code I would normally use & then amend is this;
 *     ```
       <a href="<http://www.forestskillsltd.co.uk/shop/>" target="_blank">Click here for further details</a>.
       <b> </b>
       ```
   
 * I can’t see anything wrong with this, but it just doesn’t work anymore.
 * Pre-existing html code works, but new/amended code doesn’t. (& yes I turned off
   all of the plugins and cleared the cashe).
 * Any ideas?

    You have an extra open & close tag in link.
 * Should be:
    `<a href="http://www.forestskillsltd.co.uk/shop/" target="_blank"
