  I created a page using a theme that has buttons that I inserted using the CSS option in the text area. So the button I created links to a facebook page, another to twitter, etc… But when the user clicks the button it takes them off the page I created and takes them to that fb page or twitter page. I want those fb and twitter pages to open in another window so the user can return to the page I created and keep browsing or clicking on other links. How do I set that button up to open the link in a new window?
  Thank you,
  Samir

  Yes, you can open the link in a new window.

  See this support document:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  There is a box to check to open the link in a new tab or window.

  Or add target="_blank"
  to your link

  As in

  <a href="https://yoururlhere" target="_blank">
