There are just five links to my other URLs at the moment (blog, gallery etc) so I tried this - the first link has target="new1", the second link has target="New2" and so on. When I tried this out using Firefox, Opera and Galeon it worked as I wanted. I have yet to test it with IE. If I have time today (we expect some visitors) I will try out target="_blank" and see how that works.
