Q:

My HTML Link Is Not Working

I am new to HTML, and that's about to be very obvious, but I need some help on putting a simple link onto my website. The problem I'm experiencing is that my link when clicked on in Safari tries to pull from "file:///Users/kingwoody1/Desktop/Sample%20Website/â€œhttp://www.google.com/â€%C2%9D". 
What am I missing? Why isn't it just going loading up google.com?
My code looks like this:
<html>
<body>
<div class=“headings”>
   <h1>Scott Woodson for President</h1>
    <p>A Man Of The People</p>
 </div>

 <div class=“options”>
   <ul>
     <li>
     <a href="http://www.google.com">Search for stuff</a>
     </li>
  </ul>
</div>  
</body>

A:

You have funky quotes which are probably breaking safari. Change all of the “ and ” to ":
<div class=“headings”> to <div class="headings">
and
<div class=“options”> to <div class="options">
