Trying something new. Feedback, please!
Hello, readers. I've made a minor change to my blog template, so that anytime someone clicks on a link here, it'll open in a new tab (if your browser supports tabbed browsing) or a new window (if it doesn't). The idea is to make it a bit easier for readers, in that they can simply close the tab or window and be right back at the blog, instead of having to click the 'Back' arrow and wait for the blog page to reload (which can be slow, depending on the volume of Internet traffic).
Please let me know how you find this feature. If enough of you don't like it, I'll put things back the way they were. On the other hand, if you find it useful, I'll leave it in place.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Peter
I personally like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a "multiple tabs open at all times" person. It's become automatic for me to right-click a link and open a new tab. So I'm all for being able to do it with one-click instead! :)
ReplyDeleteDitto Miz Minka!
ReplyDeleteIt works well from within Google reader. Sometimes when you click on a link within the reader preview it takes you to the link within the reader. Yours now opens in a new tab. I like that a LOT better.
ReplyDeleteWhat Miz Minka said.. since I always do "open in new tab" anyhow, the code change is irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteJust don't put any right-click disabling javascript on there. *grrrr* :)
I like it elsewherer and will
ReplyDeleteappreciate it here as well. Saves
reloading a long page.

Excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all the above. Good move. (And you have a great site. It's on my "read daily" list.)
ReplyDeleteExcellent feature. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteGood idea.
ReplyDeleteMost definetly like, that was one of the few things that I did not like about your blog. (The other being your attractions to LOLcats, different folks different strokes) Thank you for improving an allready excellent blog.
ReplyDeleteAgain thank you for all your hard work.
Best wishes
