Add a link within the text of my blog

Colin – I just posted something similar in

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/90538?replies=4

see if that helps

I think that I am having a similiar problem as Colin and I couldn’t find the answer in the link that was posted. Here is my problem:

I’m trying to add a simple URL link in a post that I am writing but when I add the link URL, the link becomes my blog address plus the link that I submitted. So it looks like this: “https://www.braintreefinancial.com/blog/www.dinersclub.com”

All I want in the link is the desination URL, https://www.dinersclub.com.

What am I doing wrong?

How are you adding the link?

Every link should start with https:// (which is the protocol; otherwise the browsers “think” it is a subfolder of your domain) – and NOT with www only!
Sorry, this is not a blogging issue but HTML basics.
