WB10 menu bar external link no go

I am using WB10 to clean up my old website before I update it to something else. I just don't know what I want to do but know I need to clean up what I have.

I have a menu bar with 5 selections, 4 point to internal pages and 1 points to an external page (my blog). Each of these are supposed to load in InlineFrame1. The internal pages work just fine, but the external one doesn't do anything. However, if I preview, it works fine.

What am I missing?

And I don't know if this is helpful, but I opened the index.php in notepad, and the relevant section looks like this:

<div id="container">
<div id="wb_MenuBar2" style="position:absolute;left:410px;top:199px;width:431px;height:25px;z-index:1000;">
<div id="MenuBar2">
<ul style="display:none;">
<li><span></span><a href="./index.php" target="_self">Home</a>
</li>
<li><span></span><a href="./About_the_author_new.html" target="InlineFrame1">Bio</a>
</li>
<li><span></span><a href="./Writers_lounge.html" target="InlineFrame1">Writer's&nbsp;Lounge</a>
</li>
<li><span></span><a href="http://www.richardpnixon.com/blog" target="InlineFrame1">Blog</a>
</li>
<li><span></span><a href="./Contact.php" target="InlineFrame1">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Note that WB10 is very old and no longer supported.

If an external link does not load then this may be blocked by the browser or the website you are trying to load.
For example, some websites do not allow the content to be displayed in an inline frame for security reasons.

Hi Pablo - thank you for the quick reply.

You mentioned security, and I noticed when I open the blog in another page, the address is https, not http. I changed that in WB10 and now it's working! Nice and simple.

Thank you!

BTW, I sent an email regarding upgrading from 10 to 18. The FAQ mentions a 40% discount for existing users, but when I went to purchase, the discount was only 25%. Was curious what the story on that is.

Anyway, thanks again!

The discount is 40%, not 25%.
The discount applies to the WWB license only. Not to any extras, like extension packs because those are already discounted..
