May be a silly question..

Anytime you have a <A href> HTML code with target="_blank", that link will open in a new window.
You seem to a have a few of these on your site, remove them and see what happens.

Do you mean you are linking to a site outside of yours, but are forcing it to still open within your site?

No, not another website. just a page I made for my site.

ok I still haven’t gotten it to work. say I want to open the about me page.
I’d put < a href=”Me.htm”>About Me
and it still wouldn’t open in the blog part. How do I change that? do I have to put the blog in an iframe or something?

Love – do you mean a page that looks just like your blog, but has different content ?
So although it’s a whole new page, only part of it changes ?

Okay……..
index2.php – inside that is part that starts like this:
<div id="content">
and ends
</div>
Except for those tags, delete everything inside that div.
Save it as ‘template.php’
Upload to the same directory as your wordpress index.php and you should see effectively a hollow page. Yes ?
Once that works, just put the content you do want inside the content div.
If you want this new page to be outside of the wp directory, you will have to adjust the path at the top – the wp-blog-header one.

Nice! got it. thanks ??
