Re: IM and target=_blank
In regards to the target="_blank" topic, I used to do that religiously on my site for the longest time and really fought with myself when I created my blog. This was, I think, primarily to keep people at my site, as I felt I was losing too many people to outside links I provided, and few ever returned. I still see more people leaving then come from other links, but I decided without realizing it, that it took more time then it was worth to change each link to it's own window and I stopped. I know there are ways around this, like a single target site wide, like the "_blank" above, but it still does not seem to be worth the trouble. I see the reason for a professional site dependant on advertising or page views to keep a lock on the viewer, but I have come to accept that if you publish a site, or writing, well enough, people will return or stay on their own no matter what form of linking you do.
