Open Links in a New Window

Ever get annoyed about links taking users away from your blog... sometimes into oblivion - never to return?  The lovely gems at TypePad have come up with a simple answer - in the form of a widget.

This widget will install an invisible snippet of JavaScript on your site that will scan the page for links that point outside of your domain, and force those links to open in a new browser window. Any links that point inside your domain -- archive links, category links, individual entry links, etc. -- will open in the current browser window.

Install the free widget here.
