Hi all,
Is there a way to make off-site links on my site open in a new browser window so that the visitor does not leave my site? For instance, the gallery description here is a link to another site:

http://www.sissonphotography.com/gallery/2937816

Not sure if I'm even describing this correctly, but is there way to do this?

Yes, all you need to do is include the parameter target="_blank" in your html. For example, the following html can be used to open my blog in a new window / tab.

Note - remove the *s, included to keep the forum software from swallowing the html!

<*a href="http://denisegoldberg.blogspot.com" target="_blank">thoughts and ramblings</*a>.

I'm sure this answer was elsewhere in the threads, but didn't know exactly what I was looking for. Thanks much for the info!
