I’m using WordPress. When I added the ChiliTried button to my sidebar and I click on it, the link tries to put MY URL before the chilitried URL, even though in my text widget, only chilitried.com is there. What’s wrong?

Thanks to Jordan McCollum at MamaBlogga for this answer.

The problem here is that when you type the link, you MUST include the
"http://" part.  Otherwise, the browser thinks it’s a "local link" (i.e., a link leading to a page on your own site).  Just add the
"http://" in front of www.chilitried.com.
