You have two slashes at the end of the URL and only need one. Plus, there should be no space between the < and the a, or between the close quote and the >. If, in the actual code, you do not have those spaces, then I bet that those two slashes are your problem.

Also, you need some object text for the link, and at the end of that the < /a >, in case you didn't have them.

Here's how it would look:

< a href="http://www.syvjoneshouse.com" > LINK TO SVJONES HOUSE< /a >

with this result:

LINK TO SVJONES HOUSE

Nope...didn't work. I had the above text in the <>bracket things.

At what point does everyone start hating me? Or has it already occurred?

If you enter the left angle bracket "<" as the four character sequence:
&lt;
rather than as itself "<" then you can present the suggested input exactly as it should be entered, without having to confuse the reader with extra spaces.

For your example, that would mean you type into your post:

&lt;a href="http://www.syvjoneshouse.com"> LINK TO SVJONES HOUSE&lt;/a>
which will display to the reader as:
<a href="http://www.syvjoneshouse.com"> LINK TO SVJONES HOUSE</a>
Needless to say, when people are having problems with this, the extra spaces just add to the confusion.
