hello,

I have an external link to a LinkedIn profile, When i click on it I get the following error:  
The requested URL /Contact/www.linkedin.com/in/paolagarau was not found on this server.  
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at www.mensframe.nl Port 80

I don’t understand why the link is not working.  
I have made a copy from the profile on the LinkedIn website.  
Then I have placed a linkedIn icon on my site as a image and made a link of it to the profile on the LinkedIn site.  
Is this the correct way to do this or not?

Thanks for your help,  
Steven

That link isn’t correct. It should be just [www.linkedin.com/in/paolagarau](http://www.linkedin.com/in/paolagarau)

The original link is linking to your contact page

Don’t know how you made the link but external links should start with https:// or http://:

`https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolagarau`
