I Tried to set up an external link in the CMS Page that I have created.
I followed the wiki article "http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Using_Content_Blocks" to set it up using the Content Link table in a Content Block.
Everytime I do it as above it just appends the URL specified to my instance's URL.
Also I tried making a Content Item and putting in an external link inside and adding it to the page but faced the same issue.
Has anybody faced similar problems?
