Outside links that produce windows
If anyone knows the answer to this one, I'll be really grateful. I have some links to other sites (with permission) but don't want the user to leave my site. I've been told to set up these links so the new site is a new window, preferably smaller. But, this adviser doesn't know how to do this. Does anyone? It's late, but I've been spending a lot of time looking for this without success.

I can't explain how to do it in Dreamweaver, but if you position your cursor in the link, and check the code, the bit of code that designates that link should be highlighted. You'll want to add this:
target="_blank"
inside the angle brackets. I'll use square brackets instead of angle brackets here so Blogger won't try to render this, but this is what it might look like:
[a href="http:www.sitepoint.com" target="_blank"]This text would BE the link on your page[/a]
Feel free to email me if you have questions about this. edawson@niu.edu
It's the same in dreamweaver. There's a drop down menu that gives the options of blank, parent, self, and others. You want to choose "Blank."
