Question -
I am using the code text but when I view my page, it is not working.  Is this wrong? Is there another code I can use?

I have windows XP and my site is on tripod.

Thank you

Hi,

If this is the exact same code you used in your page, you need a space between the last quote in the href tag and the word 'target'.

You have this:

You need this:

text

Notice that extra space I added?  That's most likely the problem.

Best,
