You know how when a user posts a comment and it displays a link to their website under their comment? How can you make that appear in a new window? Normally you'd put < a href="blahblah.html" target="_blank" > when using html, but I don't know what to do on wordpress. Please help! URL is at http://www.pp.yummieparadise.com for reference.
Thanks! Stephie

Edit /wp-includes/comment-functions.php
Assuming you have WP v2.0.2, modify line 378 to include the target='_blank' reference.
For some reason this forum is giving me grief writing code in this post, so I've made a post on my blog for you here.
I just tested it and it works. If you don't have v2.0.2 just search for that line of text.
Just FYI, this modifies the get_comment_author_link() function which is called from your theme file, so if you swap themes this should still work, but if you upgrade WordPress to a new version after this hack then you will have to reapply the hack I guess.

This worked for me!!! Thank you. I have been looking for a solution for a while now.
I use version 2.0.4 and edited line 366 from the comment-functions.php file!!
