HI,

I exchanged links with few sites. I needed to put those external links on the sidebar of my wordpress blog. I used text widget to include the anchortext. like this <a href="http://external.com."> external link</a>. but whenever I click that anchor text it opens a link whithin my site i.e. http://mysite.com/"http://external.com", which results in a 404 error.

plz help me out with this, I also tried including those links in the sidebar.php code.

    Hi Umar,
    are you sure you type <a href="http://external.com."> external link</a>
    not <a href=".http://external.com."> external link</a>?
    [see , there is a "period" before http]
