url in blogrol opens in my window/page

    An url I placed in my blogrol opens up in my window/page, and then my blog isn’t visible. How can i make the url open in an new window (so that the reader stays in my weblog)

    If you are using the text sidebar widgets, use <a target=”_blank” href= instead of <a href=

    I don’t think you can do this with the blogroll.

    Edit:
    I looked at your page, it’s blogroll.

    Go to the manage links page and edit the link.
    On the right side, there’s a selector for “target”.

    Pick _blank and save your change.

    It’s best to use _new in this case. It opens a complete new browser window. If you use _blank, if it’s been used before, it will just take over whatever window it was used in.

    Hope this helps,

    Hmm… my experience has been if the target page doesn’t exist, no matter what you use (I use “foo” or “fubar” alot), it forces a new page/tab.

    I’ve noticed a certain lack of standardization.
    Some blog tools rewrite it as :
    a href=”…link…” target=”…targetpage”
    [ The forum software rewrote the link when I used the brackets!]

    Either way, it sets of all the XHTML alarms (like I care..).
