Hi Ceilidh,

Just ensure you put the full URL in as your HREF parameter.

Eg. linking like this:
<a href="www.microsofttraining.net">Click here</a> will not work, as browser software will assume this is a file or folder on your server.

You need to ensure there is http:// at the front of the external URL (or https:// or ftp:// or whatever the actual url is).

So this:
<a href="http://www.microsofttraining.net">Click here</a> will work.

Experiment and see the differences. You can't break anything!

Regards, Rich
