Hi Jane:

I would find it useful if your article links opened in a new page instead of taking me away from your blog. That way I could open several of them while still staying on your blog.

Of course the bottom line is that I really appreciate your lists and find them very worthwhile.

Hi Paul. Thanks for your feedback. When I first started to create postings with links like this I did have them opening in new browser tabs/windows, but I had a couple of emails saying that readers didnt like that - so they ended up with too many windows open. So I can't win!! My personal preference is to have them open in new tabs/windows too. Anybody else like to comment on this, as I think I might go back to my original way of linking!

Leave them as they are Jane. Anyone visiting the links can choose to open them in a new window or tab (right click -> open in new tab or in Firefox ctrl+click) - give the control back to the visitor.
