hi Anu!
what it displays in the browser is the name of the link which in many cases people make the same as the actual address of the link so that one can see where one ends up in when one clisk on it.
obviously, this link name that shows us exactly the address it has to go, has the address equal to "http///" and its because of that that when you click it the browser looks up this above address and seeing an obviously inexsitant one reports it immediately..
Now why is it like that i dont know. Maybe if you post here where you got this address from then one can see where the root problem is with the link. !

The link above seems to work. Remember when you post a link to do the following.
Type some text
Click the "link" button
Type in the URL, making sure that you leave the http:// part
Click OK
Type the text that you wish to have the link (such as the word "website" shown above
Click the link button again
Type the rest of your message.
I think we are going to change it so that once you enter the URL, then it will ask you for text because a number of people forget to click the "link" button again when they are finished. Even I did above :P

Blogs uses standard HTML markup language.
A great resource I found was here: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/
You can scroll down to the "Adding links to other pages" section to see how things should look if it isn't clear above
It's that simple
