So, after a little exchange with the ever-provocative mkb_cbr, I've decided to experiment by purposefully not making links in my journal open new windows. What do you think?

It's a subtle distinction, but I do not have all my links open in a new window. I have them all open in the same separate window; that's why I tag my links as target="pop" instead of target="_new". All my links go to that one window called "pop".

It would really only matter if I posted and linked a lot more than I actually do, but if I did, I would not be cluttering up your desktop with a million windows. Only one extra one.

Opening to the same new window is a definite improvement over multiple new windows.

Kudos to Mister Erikred for his transition. I hope that it proves happy and fruitful.

(Truth be told, I was tempted to switch and complain about the lack of new windows, but figured I'd get my ass kicked.)
