Linking to another site?  Open a new browser window

If you have a link in your page to information in another website, it is better to open a new browser window with the new site in it so you do not lose the visitors to your site. 

When they are finished with the new site and close the browser window, your site will still be there in the previous browser window.

First, create a link to the other site using the name of the site or topic as a link, according to the instructions on the Links and email in text page or the HTML instructions page Link to other pages or website, then make the link open as a new window:

This is done by inserting a little bit of html code into the link.  If you are in the WYSIWYG Edit Text box, click on the View HTML Source button shown by the "<>" symbol.

Insert the following html code [(space)target=_blank] into the html code for the link as in this example:

http://education.qld.gov.au/tal/curriculum_exchange/lo/00030.htm" target=_blank>Old Bernie's Story

and then your link will open in a new browser window, like this - Old Bernie's Story

(remember to refresh your webpage before testing the link)
