  Dear Forum,
  With reference to the page listed below, is there anyway of getting the ‘Link Here’ to open the external page in a new tab?

  I’ve managed to do this with the categories list, as this was an option in the Edit Link area, but I can’t see an equivalent under the different Page option area.

  Many thanks for any assistance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  When you set the link up one of the options is “Open in a new Window” – choose that – you can also go into the html editor and add “about blank” in the link string but I forget the exact syntax.

  It’s actually target="_blank"

  On most modern browsers, it opens the link on a new tab, but on some older ones, it will open on a new window.
