paragraph text and image are linked to contact page

The link I created for facebook works fine, but the image and paragraph text on my about page is linked to my contact page. I'm not sure why this is happening.

From what you have said it sounds like your <a> tag is around both the <img> and the <p> tags. This should only be around the <img> if this is the only area you require to link to Facebook.

like this... <a><img></a> <p></p>

thank you for the response @kevin beall @Justin warren, I believe I have the correct syntax but I'm still not sure what is happening here. I would like only the word "facebook" to be a link. Here is my code

<section> <img src= "img/CabinJazzJammin.jpg" alt= "Photo of Cabin Jazz" class= "profile-photo"> <h3>ABOUT</h3> <p>Welcome to my website.</p> <p>feel free to follow me on<a href="https://www.facebook.com">facebook<a/> </p> </section

I added this code to my website and it works as desired. Maybe there is some css padding which is making the click box much bigger than needed. Hope this helps.

Ps. Also noticed that your closing anchor tag is <a/> and not </a> tried this also in my code but did not make any difference how the code worked.

Appears to work in my browser too. The word facebook is a link. May be worth re-submitting this question to the community with the CSS and a longer explanation! Hope this helps!
