Beats me, Michelle. Tell me what you're trying to do, and I'll see if I can help. There's a permalink that should provide the right URL for a link.

Okay, I see the problem. The URL that you have in the link isn't correct. It's a mash-up of a URL from your site and from mine. Open the link tag, remove whatever is in there, and past the permalink from this site. Thanks for the flow!
