i'm not sure what you mean do you have a url or something.

when you link, do you only put 'www.whatever.com'? You need to make sure you include the 'http://' before each address.

yes, if you want to use the 'www.domain.com' you have to put the 'http://' in front of it or if you're linking to an outside site you have to use the 'http://'. if it's your own site you can use what's called 'relative paths'. 'relative path' means that the path starts with the current location.

(nothing means in the same directory)
../ (go up one directory)
/ (go back to the root directory)

it's kinda confusing at first but all you really need to remember is if it's your own site use relative paths '../' and '/'. if it's someone elses site use 'http://'.
