OneWord: External

I had some trouble deciding how to handle external links on my site… I didn’t know whether to put target=”_blank” in all the links so that they automatically open in new windows, or just make them a normal link and let the viewer open them in a new page if they want. I decided on the latter, because some people don’t like new windows being opened, and I don’t think there is a way to avoid them doing that, if you put target=”_blank” in the link. So this way if you want it opened in a new window or tab, just hold shift and click on the link. Or in Opera you can right click on it and drag down. Or in Firebird you can right click and drag down to open it in a new window, or right click and drag up to open it in a new tab (after installing the mouse gestures extension).
