Adding links, in blog post text, is one of the most basic tasks in creating hypertext content - and it may be one of the most subtly misunderstood too. Like the inability to add a link using the Blogger Post Editor, the ability to correctly specify the link target is frequently seen
Some bloggers do not understand HTML / HTTP syntax, and that's the problem here.
If you specify a link target as "www.website.com", most hypertext content editors will qualify the target with two elements.
Instead of typing
I created a standard HTML link<a href="www.website.com">Link</a>but when you click the link Blogger turns the link into thisblogaddress.blogspot.com/www.website.comWhat is going on here?

If you specify a link target as "www.website.com", most hypertext content editors will qualify the target with two elements.
- The protocol, i.e. "http://".
- The base URL of the website being edited, i.e. "blogaddress.blogspot.com".
blogaddress.blogspot.com/www.website.com
Instead of typing
www.website.comtype the link target as
http://www.website.comand you'll be OK.
