  I like the idea of having related links on my blog – however I would prefer that they open in a new tab/window. When I add links to the text of the post, I get the option to have then open in a new window or tab. Is there anything I can do to have the related links open in a new tab or window?

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

  Are you referring to possibly related posts? Appearance -> Extras
  If so then we cannot change the coding that appears.

  I just realized you may be referring to Zemanta links. If so then you would have to edit every link in the HTML editor and in the HTML editor and add this to the image code (after href… etc… jpg, with a space before it):
  target=”_blank”

  I am talking about Zemanta links – this sounds as if it could be the solution, but also would mean quite a bit of extra work.

  Thanks for such a quick response.

  Hi there,
  I disabled Zemanta so I cannot recall whether or not the links were coded to open in another window or not. If they aren’t then you have the instructions for how to change them. Best wishes with your blog. :)
