Force OIOPublisher Banners to Open in New Windows
August 31st, 2008 by Mack
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.

I love the slogan friends dont let friends use internet explorer.
I fix alot of computers for friends,and family,and one of the first things I tell them is do not use IE,and I install either opera or firefox for them.

Yeah I am not a big fan of IE either. I try to avoid it at all cost, but it is hard when your a website owner/designer.
