Hi Jeri,
your blue clicky does not work!
This is because
1. you gave no protocol "http:" in the href (ok, it is not always necessary)
2. you forgot the two slashes "//".
Without the slashes at the beginning the url is interpreted as local to the current directory (the directory the site containing the link is in).
With one slash at the beginning the url is interpreted as local to the webserver's root directory (webserver's root directory is not necessarily the same as the root directory of the machine the webserver is running on). With two slashes at the beginning the url is interpreted as global.
As the Gordon Bok pages are neither in the directory of this thread nor on the Mudcat webserver, you have to give two slashes (and it is always good to give the protocol). So the url should have looked like "http://www.gordonbok.com/"
Here is the (hopefully working) Blue Clicky Thingy Gordon Bok Page
