Hey, does anybody know how I can configure MT to open a new window when someone clicks a link on my site? I seem to remember some MT sites/blogs having a little box you can check off to employ this feature. Thanks!

This is a very annoying feature, in my opinion, but I think you're looking for something like this:

[the girlie matters] open links in new window with regex

Yup, I think that's what I was thinking of, urban. Thanks a lot. I think I'm going to hold off for now because I'm still getting used to the more simple stuff, and this looks a bit intimidating for the time being—maybe when I'm feeling more adept. At least now I know where to find it.

It is annoying to me because I always forget to click it on the sites I go to which have it, but I'm interested in it for my site to keep people there once they've arrived.

Thanks for replying!

Have a checkbox to give people the choice, rather than forcing them all, would be this classic bit of Javascript from Randomwalks.

That is a useful bit of javascript, Phil, for those that have javascript enabled. I thought of suggesting that myself. It gives the user an option.
