<a> tag doesnt work

I inserted an <a> tag inside <p> tag. The link was from another site(social media sites) but when I clicked the link a message appears says the page doesn't exist. And I found the address on my browser was the address of my site plus the link I intended to open. Where do you think did I go wrong?

sam The only reason for this is that the link(url) you are using is invalid.

Link works for me too. Seems valid. What do you mean by live site?

I wonder if the web server blocks access to certain domains for security or other reasons.

sam The link you have mentioned in the button is appending with your current link. That is the reason for page not found.
