Well I am new too but what I did was wherever you wanted the link go up to the top and there is a chain link at the top and if you put your cursor over it, it says hyperlink....when it popups our box will appear with text and the address and stuff......in text you will put how you want it to appear. and in the link type "http://www.thewebsite.com".....I havent published my site yet but thats what I did and when I previewed in browser it worked.....Correct me if I am wrong people.....I am totally new too. I have only had it for 2 days now.....sorry if this doesnt work but thats what I did and seemed to work fine.......

Dear Pete,

Thanks for the response. I think I'm pretty dense here because I tried to amend the link info as you said, highlight and right link then type  URL w/o http://www.  etc., but the link when previewed in the browser is still attempting to refer back to my localhost and my root ag land web file.  I looked at your quote about taking a deep breath and searching for the simple answer, I'm afraid I may hyperventilate!  Any other suggestions, I thank you very much for your help, especially knowing you went to the site to check out my problem.

Thanks.

Kellie

Hi kdunnett
I think maybe I 'confused' you somewhere.  

The window should come up like  this


Delete the / I've highlighted in red and replace it with a FULL url.

So as Confused has said.... http://www.malt.org in that example

The http://www SHOULD tell your page "goto an extrernal HTTP address. dont go to an internal folder"

Congrats for finally getting it to work!
