How to make your blogger links open in a new window

I recently experimented with the Blogger "Link List" widget and realized that, it creates links that open in the same window as your blog (i.e. your blog is closed and the link page opens in it's place), unlike the "Blog List" widget.

I found a great blog (which I've linked to below) that gives you all the info on changing your Link List and Label List widgets so they can open in new windows. Below is a snippet of the info you'll find there to change your template HTML to allow links in your Link list to open in a new window:

Tips for new bloggers

 If you're new to blogging and messing with HTML, this might seem a little intimidating; it's not. Just follow these instructions on how to make your Links List open in a new window and you'll do just fine. Also, ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR TEMPLATE CODE BEFORE YOU EDIT IT! Good Luck.

Facebook to be destroyed Nov. 5?

Ha!
Just in case you haven't heard, the hacktivist group Anonymous has declared war on facebook. The statement they released looks, feels, and reads like something out of a movie I can't wait to watch :).

Not that I condone intentional destruction of property or anything like that, but I don't think it would hurt the world (doped up to our eyeballs on facebook!) to be unplugged... even if it's for a few weeks while Facebook and Anonymous battle it out 21st century style. And I really wonder what the withdrawal symptoms of facebook look like.

This should cause some people several weeks of sleepless nights.

Maybe this does make a difference after all

Up until this morning, I had decided to abandon this blog because I wasn't sure anyone was reading it, and honestly, I didn't have a particular direction I was taking it in... think "summer teeth" (What? You don't get it? Sucks to be you!). Well, I was all over the place with this darn blog! Then someone left me a comment thanking me for posting about the Bedford Report, Bedford Financial = pump and dump schemers! and it suddenly all made sense to me: I had to keep posting on all the huge FAILS (and not NOT-SO-FAILS) I encountered in my life, be it in stock trading, buying electronics, deciding between utility providers (PSE&G, your days are numbered!) etc. SO, I'm back, and I'll be posting some more stuff soon.

Thanks for reading, and please feel at ease to make any suggestions about what you want me to blog about.

Bedford Report, Bedford Financial = pump and dump schemers!

I recently signed up to receive a newsletter from the bedfordreport.com/Bedford Financial. Today, I received this pre-market update from them (see below):

The problem with this e-mail is that it's all lies. I checked the FDA web site, and it turns out that this "UV 400" product has been flagged as "fraudulent product" and has been "Uncleared for marketing" by the FDA. Please see the links below, and don't be suckered into this scheme!!
