Is there a reason why my hyperlinks keep linking back to GCU??? <a href="url">Link Text</a> is the correct code, right? I know it's been awhile since I coded anything, but am I leaving something out???

Doesn't look like you are missing anything...this is what I would use unless I wanted to also enhance the text with size, color or bold.
 
<a href="http://www.domain.com">www.yourdomain.com</a>

Karen,
 
Are you are speaking about the link on the top of your store under the banner where your proceeds go?  I've only had a link go to the main page of a store when something I entered was not correct.
 
I don't know if this is the correct Orange Avenue link, but it should look like this:
 
<a href="http://www.orangeavenuemusic.com">Orange Avenue</a>

That looks correct Karen.  If you can post the actual link you're trying to create we may be able to help.

Thanks for the replies. I do indeed have  <a href="http://www.orangeavenuemusic.com">Orange Avenue</a> but... what shows up in the url field of the browser www.greetingcarduniverse.com/orangeavenuemusic.com, really weird and directs me back to GCU site. No I know why I stopped coding.  
 
I was surprised to see the new look - I knew it was coming. It looks great, it's refreshing, nice change.
Thanks for your help guys. I'm gonna go back and check it again.

Thanks again y'all. I copied and pasted the code Doreen provided and I tested it and it finally worked. You had the magic code Doreen, thanks. I even had my husband look at it and he retyped it and it still didn't work last night. I  must have left out a dot, period or something or just another gremlin. But the way things were going yesterday.... I am not surprised.
Thanks again I really appreciate the help.
