07/12/2002 Entry: "No One's Fussy, I'm a Target."

Let's talk about targets. For the non-technical, no, I'm not talking about Michael Graves.

I certainly appreciate Dive Into Mark's 30 Days to a More Accessable Weblog series, and intend to make some changes to the site based on this. By the same token I understand why he recommends not opening links in new windows, but the marketing lobe of my brain is resistant to the idea. Besides, that's the way I surf the Web (with a ton of windows open,) so I assume everyone surfs like me—a dangerous assumption, I know. So, should I change this? Have an opinion on the matter? Please vote or comment.

  Should I let all links open in the same window?

Fuck him with his back button; sounds like someone's been sucking at Jakob's teat a little too long.

I agree with David. The attitudes of these self-appointed design gurus types frost me most of the time. Frankly, I don't care whether anyone else approves of my site's design and content. It's mine damnit and I like it. If you don't agree, well, no one is forcing you to visit. There are plenty of other sites out there, by all means go enjoy them.
