 * Is there a setting or hack that I need to make in order to have all links in 
   my blog entries automatically open up in a new window? Even if it’s just editing
   the <pre>link </pre> button so it automatically adds <pre>target=’_blank'</pre
   >
    thanks in advance, Alex

 * Is javascript the only solution?
    Many people have javascript pop-ups disabled
   in their browsers .

 * for a question i had reguarding the target location, i was told i could use
    
   <BASE target=”_blank> (for your use now), i wouldnt suggest it, i think its a
   depreciated tag, and it applies to all links on the page, so others will have
   to be defined if they are to stay in the parent frame

 * ehm, isnt’ the target parameter one of those things breaking your xhtml validation?
   
   I think I once saw a JS which opened several links with a certain class in a 
   new window… that’d be better, wouldn’t it? (popup blocker shouldn’t block those,
   because the js would be launched as an onclick event, should they?) christian

   you in as soon as you post here. 🙂
