I wanted to address several issues that came up recently in the Cowbell posts.
SFDB readers can still use the "sfdb, sfdbsfdb" username/password combination when viewing the online Miami Herald.
I am unable to have my hyperlinks open in a new window like someone requested. I checked with Blogger and the settings don't allow me the option, as far as I can tell.
While I do plan on doing a Friday post on weekend events, it's not going to appear for a few weeks due to a real hectic travel schedule I have coming up.

To have the hyperlink open in a new window, the reader has to set that option on his or her computer.
At least that is the way it is on my computer and I use Firefox.
What I don't understand about these sexual deviants - pedophiles and zoophiles - is that why do they feel compelled to film their sexual escapades?
It always ends up working against them.
And strike one up for Wordpress because they allow you to open the hyperlinks in new windows.
I'll bet you could make the hyperlinks open in another window by using the standard HTML code for that and using the HTML edit screen in blogger. But why should you? I think every browser, unless you're using something really old, offers the 'open link in new window (or tab)' option. You just have to right-click on the link. Firefox does it, and so does the newest Explorer.
If only dogs could sue....
if you want to make links open in a new window, the best way is to simply put target="_blank" in the opening tag of the link. Example:
a href="#" target="_blank" .... Link .... close tag
It's great because it respects users who have set their browsers to open spawned windows in a new tab.
I like my readers, I really do. And I respect them. But I haven't heard that much of a commotion about the "open new window problem" to justify modifying each and every hyperlink I place on SFDB.

To open a link into a new window just hold down the shift key as you click on a link.
Works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I've been doing so for years.
Stephen,
That takes too much trouble and too many hands. The lazy way to do it is just right click.
