Relative and absolute links in Magento

Question

Ok so i have about 15 footer links of pages at my homepage.I have all the pages designed and i have set them all in footer static block.But i can access them only from my homepage if i access them from any category page or checkout page it gives an 404 error page not found. Details: For example here is my page FAQ: The URL Key of FAQ page is:

apollo-faqs

whereas in footer static block the link of FAQ is as under:

<li> <a href="apollo-faqs">FAQ's</a> </li>

My site's url is: My Site

Answer 1

you need to put the links like this:

<a href="{{store _direct="diapollo-faqs"}}">FAQ's</a>

Answer 2

Looks like you just need a forward slash / in front of your link, so it would be...

<li> <a href="/apollo-faqs">FAQ's</a> </li>
