Hey.
Nice layout on this site, but one glitch... I would like the links to external sites to open in a new window...

Hmm, how does these url tags work exactly? I can write an a tag as usual like this: <a href="http://www.lsthemes.com">LS Themes</a> and it opens in the same window. So I guess I shouldn't do that. But if I use the url tags I get this: lsthemes.com it opens in a new window. But then I can't give it a name instead of the url. Or can I?

everything should open in a new window.

/me goes off to kick a dev or two...

Personally, I prefer sites that open all links in the same window so I don't have to guess what'll happen. If I don't want a link in the same window, I hold down ctrl when I click on it.

So if it were my site, I'd say do it yourself, you have control of your computer, but alas, it is not. :)

you said it RabidCow. But /me bows to Dev's wishes. :)

We just need a browser that ignores open in new window commands, unless specifically told to do so by the user. :)

Ah, thanks tuxpow3r. That was what I was looking for. I didn't understand the syntax of the url tag. But now I do.
*and he's of to write urls*
