Are you asking about this empty wordpress.COM hosted blog at http://randyrutman.wordpress.com/ ?

No, I have a wordpress.com hosted site at
http://randyrutmanhomes.com/
And I want to create a link that opens a new page so I don’t lose a visitors. -
Where you want this link to appear is not made clear above.
If and only if you are referring to a link to an external site in a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu on a wordpress.com hosted blog then see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-linksIf and only if you are referring to a blog hosted by WordPress.COM and want to create links in posts and pages then read and act on what follows. See here https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
For embedding links in post and pages this is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
Highlighted anchor text here1. In the Visual editor type the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “click here” is not a good choice. ;)
2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
4. There is a option of making the link open in a new window. Click it. -
