  Dear WordPress,

  I have a link called “portfolio” that redirects the viewer to my website. I would like my website to open in a new window. How do I make this happen?

  I appreciate your time.

  You’ll need to structure the HTML like this:

  <a href="http://www.sarahstacke.com/" target="_blank">www.SARAHSTACKE.com</a>

  The target bit is what tells it to open in a new window. Since I was there, I added it in for you.
