IMPORTANT: If you have not read my Basic HTML Editing Instructions, do that first!
 
Michael Wong offers a suggestion for making links open in new windows. I have discovered a different way! However, this method only works for links OUTSIDE of your site.
 
Think about this: pages on your site do NOT begin with http:// but external links (pages on other people’s sites) DO.
 
So, simply find
 
href= " http://
(remove the spaces around the quote - I had to put them there to prevent my MassReplaceIt script from replacing this code!)
 
and replace it with
 
target=” _blank” href=” http://
(remove the spaces after the first and third quotes - I had to put them there to prevent my MassReplaceIt script from replacing this code!)
 
This should make all links beginning with http open in a new window! Try out some of the links on this page. They should open in new windows.
 
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes again! Set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt and you can do this very quickly.
