Creating links to content within your site

When creating links to content within your site, whether you're doing it in a menu item or using the links widget, the primary thing you want to remember is to use the relative path and not the absolute path for the content.

Why is this so important? When you first get your site, it may not exist at it's final domain (ex. it may be yoursite-com.someotherdomain.com). If the page you're linking to exists at http://yoursite-com.someotherdomain.com/my-page, you want to make certain that once your domain changes to http://yoursite.com that the link will still be valid.
