Looking for some advice...

I have a blog at www.galleryq.com; my Smugmug site is at photos.galleryq.com. I would like to include, in the description of a few of my galleries, links back to the related blog entry; thus, the gallery description be something similar to "Beijing, China. See related blog post here." ("Here" would have an 'a href' tag in HTML to link back to the blog.)

I tried this, and while it worked when I was logged in as an Admin, when I logged out, it was only shown as text (the HTML was stripped). Any thoughts as to how I might be able to do this, or something similar?

Many thanks!

Did you put <*html> at the start and </*html> at the end of the description? (Minus *'s, of course)

Edit:

and did you use this?

<*a href="http.www.yoururlhere">link text here</*a>

Yes, I tried w/ and w/o the html tag. It looks fine on the nice Ajax-enabled Admin page. But, when I log out, I just see the text, as if the HTML is being stripped. Here's what I used, minus the *'s:

<*html>Gallery description. You can see the original post <*a *href="http://www.link.com">here</*a>.</*html>

Thank you!

I include links in both gallery descriptions and in photo captions with no problems, so I know what you're asking to do does work.

Can you supply a link to the gallery that has this problem? Maybe another set of eyes on the actual gallery will help.

Denise - thank you for the offer. I believe I have narrowed down the problem. When I view the actual gallery, the link is displayed as expected. But, when I view the "subcategory" page, the links are disabled/stripped. You can see an example using the links below (HTML has been added for the first gallery that is displayed):

Thanks again,
Mark

No html is carried back to the cat or sub-cat page, it's stripped.
