    I have a question. I'm still learning the ropes of WP but I can't figure this out. How do you link a post title to another blog. Example:

    blogsweeps.com

    if you click the giveaway post link that's on the front page it takes you to a page with a kind of frame. the blog bar at the top and the blog page the giveaway is happening on.

    is there a plugin for that, or can that be done with WP pages or is that a whole custom coded thing?

    Post titles usually link to the single post view, that has nothing to do with frames.

    I don't think there's a problem with people not knowing how to answer, the problem (for me at least) is how you are formulating your question, would you mind clarifying the question please?.

    Do you want the titles of single post viewed pages to link to an offsite address?..

    You could use a custom field, or some basic PHP in the template, but you'll need to expand a little on what precisely it is you want to do and in what cases (ie. on single post pages, on all pages, just particular ones, etc..).

    Well what I'm looking for is something like this. On blogsweeps.com, if you click a post title, it brings you to the single page but its got a kind of iframe thing with the blog page and the bar at the top.

    That's exactly what it is on that particular website, an iframe.. ( i don't use them myself - ever, so can't comment on them much )..

    See the following pages for information about how to load alternate header and footer files in your theme.
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_footer

    You could simply make a secondary header and footer file (with an iframe if you want), then open the single.php up (of your theme), and adjust the get_header and get_footer calls to instead call your secondary head and foot files..
