 * I created a Page for links and added the links by pressing the link button.. 
   but I find that once published, the links contain my web address before the address
   to the actual link. For an example – click on any random link that works on that
   page: [http://www.catch20two.com/?page_id=5](http://www.catch20two.com/?page_id=5)

 * You need to fix your link text. Because you didn’t include the “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);
   part, web browsers assume that the links is for a subpage on the current site.
 * Simply change “www.howardchui.com” to “[http://www.howardchui.com&#8221](http://www.howardchui.com&#8221);
   and you should be good to go.
