    Hello everyone,

    I am having a difficult time figuring out how to link to an outside website like bluehost without having the permalink on it.

    Basically every time I go to link to bluehost a permalink gets added in and it pops up a 404 error when you click the link. Could someone please help me with making a hyperlink without the permalink in it.

    My site is bemarketable.com

    Thanks for the help

    The example I found is on the “Resources” page, the link to Bluehost is wrong, it is “http://www.bemarketable.com/www.bluehost.com/track/greggmock/Homepage”

    To fix this, you need to open the Resources page, change the edit mode to HTML, the link is presently coded as:

    <a href="/www.bluehost.com/track/greggmock/Homepage">Bluehost</a>

    The leading “/” on the link tells the browser “on this same website”
    Change it to:

    <a href="http://www.bluehost.com/track/greggmock/Homepage">Bluehost</a>
