VBInfoZine 'new browser window' policy

After countless hours of thinking which hyperlinks to open in a new browser window and which should remain in the current window, I've finally got it! That is, you are the boss, so you decide.

As a result, I've revamped the site and deleted almost all the evil target = "_blank" attributes. Now when you want a link to open in a new window, then you have to click the link while holding the SHIFT key (or right click the link and choose the Open in New Window command).

The links that do open in a new browser window are clearly tagged as [opens in a new window].

I hope you'll appreciate the consistency.

Enjoy!
