Hi anyone

I have added some links into a site http:The Cellulite Zone | Cellulite but one of them keeps showing up with the cellulite url at the beginning. This is the link -
I Married A Fat Bitch and this is what the code that I have put in there looks like:
<center><a href ="http://www.imarriedafatbitch.com">I Married A Fat Bitch</a></center>

Can anyone tell me why the link shows up differently. Obviously it's useless the way it is. I did try removing it and saving the file before putting it back in but in a different slot but it is still displaying the link wrong.

Cheers
Viv

Notice the difference:
”
and
"

Change the first one with the exact double quote -> "

This is deadly. I spent hours on this before not knowing what the heck is going on with my website. But then a closer look revealed the wrong double quotes were used!

Thanks

All fixed

It's easy once you know what's wrong!

Are you able to also tell me why it is sometimes the colour of the link looks different? Three are a deep pink and one is blue!

Thanks

I use Firefox and all your links look okay to me (.. was looking at the Cellulite Zone, sorry).

Your links use 2 different link css for the site http://www.imarriedafatbitch.com/.

The pink one use this code:
<li class="page_item page-item-2 current_page_item">

The blue one uses this code:
<li class="cat-item cat-item-1">

That's why their colors are different.
If you want the color to be blue, use the <li class="cat-item cat-item-1"> and vice versa

  Yes, this can also happen when converting between various editor, e.g text editor and html editor

The css defined blue on some list items (li).
and some pink.

Also, any link on your posts will be pink. Once hovered, it will be blue. That's what the css says.

What happen is your " has been translated into â€.

Try put that complete html code in a notepad. Then copy from the notepad to your html editor. The problem arises because of this thing called character encoding problem.

If you use a text editor like Notepad++, try UTF8 character encoding.
