  I made a Page called VIDEOS. On that Page I have (so far) four URLs to YouTube videos. How can I get those videos to open up in a new page so that the viewer can return to the main page and not get kicked off the site? :-)

  When you put a link onto your blog, you can use the links button (the one that looks like a chain) in your visual editor. There is a “target” option, which you can set as “open in new window.” I assume your problem is that you have just pasted the URL straight into your page. If this is so, you’ll need to highlight the whole URL, click on the link button, and change the target setting.

  Alternatively, you could just embed your YouTube videos so they show up on your page.

  Also, try searching the forums.

  If you make your links via the Insert Link button of the visual editor, you specify that in the “Target” option. If you make them in the html editor, then instead of
  <a href="URL_HERE">TITLE_HERE</a>
  you write
  <a href="URL_HERE" target="_blank">TITLE_HERE</a>

  Thank you! I did what you both said and now those links open up in new pages. In fact, I did look in the FAQ and in those Cloud Categories under “page” and also “separate page” in the Search window, all to no avail.
