# Error when trying to insert link

 * I use a WordPress site for my business: The Acoustic Coffeehouse, at [http://www.acousticcoffeehouse.net](http://www.acousticcoffeehouse.net).
   I keep a schedule of music acts on it, updating daily. For each act I insert 
   a picture and a link to their website. Sometimes the links generate an error 
   message, and I can’t figure out why. This is the message I get:
    Not Found
 * The requested URL /x/www.myspace.com/torisparks was not found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/
   1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.8 Server at [http://www.acousticcoffeehouse.net](http://www.acousticcoffeehouse.net)
   Port 80
 * In this instance the link that I put in was “www.myspace.com/torisparks” When
   I try to follow that link in the post the address that comes up in my browser
   is “www.acousticcoffeehouse.net/x/www.myspace.com/torisparks. I have tried deleting
   the post completely and adding it again, sometimes with the same result, sometimes
   not. This happens in maybe 10% of my posts, but I do them all the same way.
 * Thanks for any advice you can give me.

 * Your link format is incorrect. It should be `<a href="http://blahblah.com">`
