General Newbie Question

[bhinman]

I have finally got my site up and going but I think I have done something wrong in the coding. On the server a link marked <a href="patrioticsales.com"> works to take me to that page.

Will this work when the site is on the web or do I need to make it
<a href="www.bevsbeadcreations.com/patrioticsales.com">. If it is the 2nd, which I have a nasty feeling it is, I am going to have to change all my pages.
??? Thanks for any help. Bev

I'm not entirely sure but the first link shouldn't work at all because it misses the http and it's not a relative link either. I would make that an absolute link. Include
http://www.patrioticsales.com (if you use the www. that is).

Thanks to both of you. You have just saved me hours and hours and hours of work. Bev
