 * Site works well in all browsers except explorer. For some reason Explorer is 
   defaulting href image links to source image instead of URL when dealing with 
   external links.
    When I hover over the image it actually shows me the correct
   link, but once I click image then it redirects to source image instead of link.
   Please help. I tried disabling each plugin, eliminating any new code in functions.
   php, I updated to most recent WP, tried taking out Child Theme…but no luck. Site–

   TwentyTwelve.

   as an example) that’s having the issue?

 * Finally got it. I disabled each plugin one by one again and it appears that Google
   Analytics Suite was the one causing the glitch.
    Thank you for your help!
