 * How do I make links popup in a new window? I’m using; comment_author_link, and
   can’t find a place to put “target=_blank” anywhere.

 * Try something like this:
 * `<a target="_blank" href="<?php comment_author_url(); ?>"><?php comment_author();?
   ></a>`
 * For more robust handling:
 * `<?php if(!get_comment_author_url()) : ?>
    <?php comment_author(); ?> <?php else:?
   > <a href="<?php comment_author_url(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php comment_author();?
   ></a> <?php endif; ?>
