Opening blog links in a new window

One of the annoying aspects of adding a link to your blog is that when the link is clicked, the new page opens up in the current window, replacing your blog. Hard enough to get a visitor, you don't want to loose them if they click one of the links you provide!

Judy helped me figure it out. You need to be able to get at the html code for your template, or message post where the link is placed. Near the beginning of the link code you will find "...a href...".

Insert the following between a and href:

target="_blank"

The beginning of the code will now look like this:

a target="_blank" href...

Let me know if this works for you?
