Dumb Question?

How do you link to a page that has Html in the link ? When I try to link to such pages, it alway say something like oops, or 404.

All I usually do is copy and paste the url. I don't understand why that isn't working for you.

Sorry I haven't been on lately, otherwise I would have answered your question.

To insert a link click the globe looking button and copy and paste the Url and click insert. Then you could also rename the link, if you want to know how I'll let you know.

Or you can also you old bedir's method.

Many URLs are "case sensitive", meaning HTML is different from html. Case in point, the above does NOT work, whereas the below does:
Charlotte Observer | 06/13/2007 | Waiting game for Carstens, Panthers

the only difference being the change in case from HTML to html. This is not a problem due to FanHome's servers or anything, it is solely due to the Charlotte.com's servers.

I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
