  I have a completed blog in my drafts which contained a link to a Google translation page. I ticked the box to open the link in a new tab/page. It was working fine but now it is not, I have tried to add the link again but it still will not open the link in a new tab.

  Here is the URL of the preview:
  http://thenorthernplights.wordpress.com/?p=68&preview=true

  About hlaf way down you will see this line: “And here you have it: Click Me.”

  This is the link I am referring to, and here is the HTML code for it in the editing page:

  Click Me.

  I did click the option to open the link in a new tab.

  Many thanks,

  Adrian

  I can’t see Previews of your page. I can only see published pages.

  And I can’t see the coding you’re trying to put in unless you place it between backticks, those little marks usually on the same key as the ~, so backtick, all the code, backtick.

  Okay, I have fiddled around with the HTML code and now it works. I am still a bit confused as to why I had to do this but the issue is resolved. I thank you for offer of help.

  Regards,
