I get lots of links to other sites and when someone clicks on them they are off to the other site. I can add to the link a command to open in new window but would love to just have the .htaccess file do this. Is that possible??

Don,
I am not a programmer and all that page shows and talks about is how to program something. Would be nice to be albe to have a command like <base target=_blank> in the heading. I tried this and Serendipity went crazy. I sure hope someone has an idea??

The javascript solution I pointed you to is the only thing I could find. At the bottom of that article, it actually stated there was an update to the script. It seems to do what you want, but you do need to understand what it is doing to use it.
For what its worth, opening blank targets is typically not recommended except for a few rare instances. Many people are used to navigating with back/forward browser arrows, and the moment you open a new window/tab, there is nothing to go "back" to.... the other window may still be open, but that might be immediately obvious to everyone.
