CSS How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Add a New Page

Why can't I create a link to my twitter?

I'm doing the How to Build a Website exercise and I'm at the about.html part. We're supposed to create paragraph tags in order to write what we want in our about page. But when I want to link my username to my twitter using anchor tags, it doesn't work. I paste my url onto the anchor tags around my username in my paragraph tags and I can't click it on my about page. The cursor doesn't respond to it like a link. It treats it like normal text. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Can you please post the code for your anchor tags?

Look at the Markdown Cheatsheet at the bottom of this page, it will show you how to post code :)

Basically you type in 3 back ticks in the line before you paste your code and again in the line after the last line of code.

I asked a question and pasted my code just fine yesterday in another topic. Is there a reason why they changed it?
