    Hi, Im really new to blogspot, and I always put links, but since I want the links to open in a new window I have to do it manually.(target="_blank").

    I would like to be able to change that, everytime I put a link, it automatically adds the target="_blank".

    How can I do that ?

    *Another question.

    Is linking illegal ? if i write about the weather in New York for example, and I put a link to CNN's WEATHER REPORT, is that legal ?

    CNN will be delighted to have you linking to them. They may not be so pleased if you reproduce their content without permission or crediting them as a source but links are always GOOD.

    Oh I have another question.

    When I'm using wysiwyg, (compose mode).

    I'm trying to tell my readers this


    Oh !! what happenes when i hit "Publish Post"? wysiwyg thinks I'm a retard and I didn't want to put that html code there, I really wanted on the "html view".
    So When I see my blog the new post is something like this.

    Hi guys this is the way to make a link
    LINK NAME

    I think this really sux... We need a better editor. I'm going to install frontpage tommorrow but I really need to know how to fix that problem.

    Thanks.

    hypertext links don't violate copyrights. copying something without giving credit or having permission is a violation though.

    but there is fair use, such as education, discussion and satire.

    Do you not have to use ampersand commands when trying to display the html coding?

    I fixed the problem using "special characters". Anyway, I'm having a problem, There is a list of "my previous posts" and you can see the last 10 posts.
    But I would like to make that list longer, like the last 20 posts? I've seen blogs with a list of 30 or more, how can they do that?
