Blogging Tip - Open Link in New Window


I don’t know about you, but I frequently visit hyperlinks in blog posts. And, like following most rabbit trails, sometimes I have trouble getting back to where I started! So please do yourself and your readers a favor by making sure that all of your links open up in new windows. It’s easy! Just click the first box in the lower left of the “Edit Link” popup window.

  1. yup, i have mine set that way. i like being able to close a window and getting back to the previous one (because i seldom hit 'back')

  3. Well, this was new. I kept looking in my settings box to see how to do that. So it has to be done each time I add a link?

  4. Thanks for the tip, Donna.
    I'm always afraid to try any new buttons without instructions first!

  9. I hate it when I click a link and can't find my way back. I'll make sure to do this from now on. Thanks for the tip

  10. hmm... I actually prefer the other way. It makes me crazy to have other links open, Guess i could just close them after reading.... now that's a novel idea.

  11. Thank you for that bit of information, I wondered how to make a link open up in a new tab! I appreciate this!

  12. Good tip! I've been trying to do this because I hate getting 'stuck' when I'm following links. Thanks for the reminder.
