744 PointsWhy 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?

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.
