Hi Ali,
Yes there are no dumb questions. We've all been where you are at one point.
1st off when you say you got a report with links, that puzzles me and I wonder what you are referring to. Are you just saying you joined the merchant and there is a list or page of links?
Do you know how to do an HTML link? To get the link to be live on your site you need to use the following format.
HTML Code:
<a href=\"http://www.greenwidgets.com/\">Best Green Widget</a>
Sorry it inserted \ backward slashes, delete use those.
Sorry if that's too basic, but it sounds to me like you are just adding the raw link:
Code:
http://www.greenwidgets.com
without the href /a> part???
Here's a good tutorial with more info.
