Opening Links
Is there a way in MT to have links (i.e. blogroll links, not posted links) open in a separate window?
Posted by Jennifer at August 31, 2003 07:16 AM | TrackBackI know this one! Let me get my cheat sheet...
Add target="_blank"
So in your blogroll, you would put
Susie
and I would open in a new window...
hope that posts.....
nope--got stripped out! dang!
Ok let's try this--ignore all the asterisks--
in your blogroll put (except for the asterisks)
*Susie*

Posted by: Susie at August 31, 2003 07:34 AMok...when you do the blogroll thing it starts with that arrow thingee and the letter a and then you put the URL between quotes. Ok. BEFORE the ">" that you put before the name of the link you put target="_blank" then finish up the usual way with the name between the > and the closing a
Clear as mud, right?
What Susie is trying to say is:
<a href="http://practicalpenumbra.mu.nu" target="_blank">Susie</a>
Which does this:

So I have to do that to ALL my links? Argh!
Posted by: Jennifer at August 31, 2003 08:18 AMOnly the ones you want to open in a new window...
Erm, yes. Yes to the argh too.
You might want to check out w.Bloggar, a desktop program for updating your blog. It does things like this for you. (I've sworn off it since it ate my review of Urusei Yatsura, but overall it's pretty good.)
