 * Hi
 * When using links within the text of a page the URL are function as relative URLs
   rather than absolute URLS. I am getting [http://www.mywebsite.co.za/about/www.linkurl.co.za](http://www.mywebsite.co.za/about/www.linkurl.co.za)
   instead of just [http://www.link.co.za](http://www.link.co.za)
 * how can I correct this?
 * Thanks,
    Deborah

 * Ok I seem to have fixed the problem by rather using wordpress’s built in link
   button, rather than using html in the text version of the post.
