Force OIOPublisher Banners to Open in New Windows

August 31st, 2008

3407 I found this very odd that it did not come as a standard option for the OIOPublisher plugin for Wordpress.  I personally hate when a click leads me to another page in the same window or tab.

In olden days before the invention of tabs, I could see where it was annoying to have to close 10 different windows.  Today, new windows essentially mean tabs and a click just means I am interested to see what else you have to offer.  It does not mean I wanted to leave the current site I was browsing.

Sorry, I just thought that image was too funny not to include.
