  Do you have a wordpress.COM blog? If so, please provide a link and consider linking it in your user name as explained in the sticky, 8 Things, at the top of the forums

  Thanks! If you are writing in the visual editor, when you highlight the link icon, a box pops up for you to put the link into. One of the options in that box is to open in a new window.

  If you are using the html editor, you need to add

  target="_blank"

  to your link information. So it would be

  <a href="url" target="_blank">Text</a>
