It’s a simple mistake to make but because your linking this to a website you need to add http:// in order for it to work because without adding that it tries to direct you to

http://www.tutorialpartofsite.com/www.youtube.com" this happens because the html thinks the link is internal which it isn’t it’s external so you need to tell it this.

internal links would be <a href="folder/this.html">This Page Is on the same server as me</a> Which when clicked would take you to http://mywebsite.com/folder/this.html External links must be <a href="http://www.codeacademy.com/folder/this.html">This Page is on a different website than me</a> So when clicked it takes you to that exact link just add http:// to the start of the url and it should work

Hope this helped :)
