Unfortunately, in all of the Blogger GUIs, there's no selection for "Make links open in new window". If you want all links in your blog to open in a new window, you can do this with a simple template change (but do this with discretion). If you want specific links to open in a new window, you have to code each link individually.
Here's a link to this post.

Alternately, if you are creating / editing in Compose mode, when you add or edit a link, simply select the option
Open this link in a new window.in the "Add link " wizard.

Thank You....I will try this out. I was trying to figure out how to this!
You could at least have given me credit for the idea of asking people to use the wishlist.
Alain,
Ever moderate comments, in a hurry?
Once you hit the "Reject" link, even in mistake, there's no way to get a comment posted.
Post your comment again, and I'll try. But post it under a relevant post, not "Leave Comments Here", please. LCH is a catch all, and is a crappy place for specific comments.
This is a nice blog...and I am so happy to get here! Initially, I was only looking for a way to let link in my sidebar open in a new window bec those are links to site I read/visit...and the layout of Blogger does not let me do it...bec all it allows me to do it enter the name and the link...I wouldn't mind doing the manual coding for specific links...yet this seems to work for me!
I will try to make a echo post...and will link you...there are more meaningful post here...and I heart this site already!
Thanks again!
thanks its working
Hi there, how can I add this to embedded picasa photo album html to make it open in a new window?
Wenny,
If the embedded album includes "<a href="whatever">", add the " target="_blank"" as specified above.
If the embedded album runs using JavaScript, you can't control it this way.
Perfect. Thanks!
hi,
so i understand how i can change this for each link, but how do i do it so that every link in my blog opens in a new page?
thanks

@Keez
That's a really, really, really bad idea. Your visitors are gonna hate you.
Oh this is fantastic. I think one of the main reasons I am losing readers because my links navigate to another page rather than opening a new window. Love it, thankyou so much!!
ya nice help..its working ..great job...
Really?

Really?
Would I lie to you?
Look above.

click on "Make Links Open In A New Window", and see.
This was very useful, tested and works on my own blogger. Thank you.
Is there a way to put the HTML in the post template?
Is there a way to put the HTML in the post template?
Yes. When you customise the "Home" / "Newer Posts" / "Older Posts" links, you do that.
This is very helpful, thanks. Is there a way to do the global change in the header so that all links open in a new page, AND TEHN individually make certain links NOT open in a new page? I have hundreds of links on my website to events, etc. that I would like to open to new pages, but the links within my blog (comparatively few) I would like not to open in a new window.
Nice, thank you. That was easy.
You're brillant. Thank you. It work easily for me :-))
Worked like a charm! Thank you!

I understand how to open a new window for each link, but now my "Newer Post, Home and Older Post" are also opening a new window. How can I still open new links without those three?
Becca,
Did you use the "all posts" new window tweak? If so, this is why. If you used the "all posts" tweak, then all links will do this - including "Newer Post, Home and Older Post".
