I am seeing something very strange in my recent posts. If you go to ifeelpithy.com/blog and look at my most recent post you will see a couple of links. The first link is supposed to go to an archive category. When I click on the link howevery I get a page not found. In the post itself the sentence is typed out this way.

The <a href = “http://www.ifeelpithy.com/blog/archives/oasis_youth_shelter/”>book drive</a> is still going strong. However when the link is clicked, the address goes to http://ifeelpithy.com/blog/“http://www.ife...youth_shelter/”

I can fix this error by changing the link to <a href="blog/archives/oasis_youth_shelter">. But the next linkis to an Amazon wishlist and it is doing the same thing. The link I put in the post is as follows

<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/32T4YTJVTBDYL/102-1945796-3384168?reveal=unpurchased&filter=all&sort=date-added&layout=compact&x=13&y=8”>wish list</a>

However in the published post when I click the link it goes to this address:

http://ifeelpithy.com/blog/“http://www.ama...p;x=13&y=8”

Which of course gives a page not found error. Is their some setting or bug or something that is causing this? If not, how do I fix it?

Su-
Your links have smart quotes in them.

This is some of the code for your first link, made larger:
<a href = “http://www.ifeelpithy.com

It should be:
<a href = "http://www.ifeelpithy.com

See the difference?
(I'd personally get rid of those spaces around the equals sign, but it shouldn't break anything.)

You should also take a look at this validator result for your page and do something about your template. Many of those errors are fairly "harmless," but the sheer number makes it really hard to find the real problems when they come up. As example, the error above was #357.

Thank you.

I copied my post into Word to make sure that I wasn't missing any grammatical mistakes. That is probably why my quotes went wonky.

I'll make the changes in my standard text editor and make the changes.

Thanks again.
