Your links going external are still opening within the frame. The
redirection will be setting a full page frame and then load the free
host within that frame.

For your external links to show with the correct url you will need to
jump out of hte frame - so setting a target of _top should do that :)

Thus, <a href="http://www.someexternalurl.com"; target="_top">Go
Elsewhere</a>
