Guess I'm not there in the training yet Tommy, at least I don't recall seeing the training on the use of a widget. I did see your suggestion mentioned in the question section, also the use of a plug in.
Do you think I should remove the code or just wait and see how it plays out?

Should internal links open into a new tab or just re-direct a visitor to another page or post on your website?
I have seen both methods used and would like to know which is
Hi Andy. I think it is dependent on whether your visitor is likely to want to return to where they clicked the link. If they are on a journey from one piece of information to the next then they may not need to come back. Each link needs it's own decision.
Wow, I just read Kyle's advice. He is the expert. My problem is that I was using blogs on the home page as a lead in to other posts on pages that are in the same category. Now I'm not sure what to do. Like I said, Kyle is the expert.
Yeah, I sort have been doing the same thing. My pages are just my beginner stuff to fill the pages and if somebody lands on one of those, Yipes! I'm trying to figure how to gently lead them out to the blogs where my external links are.... Just one more thing to back track on and fix. OY!
Hi Andy, I can get to my pages via the main menue but I just thought that after someone read one of my home based blogs they could go to that page by simply clicking on the internal link. Think I will leave it like it is for a bit.
My thinking too...I'm not going to rush in and start making drastic changes. I will follow Kyle's advice going forward and digest on rest for a while. Then do damage control after I acquire a little more knowledge.
My site is so new I really can't see it making a hell of a lot difference at this point any way. As soon as I begin generating traffic it will be a different story.
Yeah, I usually don't open it in a new page unless the link is really early on in my content. This plays a bigger role in my decision to open in new tab or same window.
If early on in my post/page => link to new tab
If towards the end => open in same window
I think it's personal preference. Personally my internal links don't open in a new tab, only external ones.
Hi Chloe, thanks for taking the time to join the discussion and voice an opinion. Much appreciated!
I use 'WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click' plugin so I make all my internal links open in a new tab because the reader can't right-click to choose that option. ~Marion
I defer to someone else more knowledgeable to answer whether one is better than the other for SEO purposes, but I can speak from personal preference. I always like to have things open in a new tab. Not a new window and not in the same window. Always a new tab. That is just me though. Unfortunately, I don't even know how I have my website setup, nor do I know how to change that setting. Is it something you just set for each individual link? I'll have to test and make sure I have mine set up how I like them.
@pianobenjjam I wrote a tutorial on hyperlinks: How to Create Hyperlinks in WordPress I hope that helps you.
Hey Josh, thanks for the speedy feedback. At this point I have been having mine open into a new tab as well...but see a lot of sites that don't. My reasoning is not having the visitor lose the original page or post they originally landed on. Right or wrong...don't know?
The setting for this on my theme is in the set-up window where you add the link...you can check the box to open the link in a new tab.
Thanks for getting involved in the discussion. I depend heavily on others to learn stuff!

I have a post with images that I want to caption. In the editor the captions look fine, but when I preview the captions...the words are no longer centered under the images.
Unfortunately in my theme, choosing center only centers the picture not the caption. Thanks for the reply though. Much appreciated.
I think I have a fix for you. When you are in the editor mode, click on the picture and a pop-up box will appear. This box allows you to make some adjustments to the picture. You will see a pencil...click on it. A box will appear that allows you to set up Image Details. Look for the Caption box. This is where you can type in the caption. You can center the caption by using a simple code:
Click update. Now when you get back to the editor, publish the change and go view your page. The caption should now be centered under your picture. I hope this helps!
Hello FrankieCat. I didn't ask anyone in particular, but I was looking for the answer to the caption problem. I asked for help in the "Need Help" box and got you and some other people. Even though you don't know me, I appreciate everyone's answer. Especially yours FrankieCat, because you're right, all you have to do is click on the image and do as you instructed. I love this Community.
Thank You;

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you use the Gallery feature your captions will be centered. To see an example you'll need to sign up on whiteboardfx.com and go to my downloads page. Just send me a PM to be taken off my list if you don't want to be there. The images are yours to keep for personal use either way. ~Marion
Mine come out centered automatically. Maybe it is theme related. Try looking in your theme options. Glyn
Yeah, I believe to be theme related as well but there must be a way to add code to correct it. You would think so anyway.
Thanks Glyn.
Definitely theme relayed. Mine are centered and I didn't set it up that way. You're better off asking this on wordpress.org under themes or if the theme your using has a forum on there.
I'm having the same problem, trying to figure it out now, will let you know if I fix it. Sorry not an answer, but hope to have one soon :)
I think Glyn is right, I spent an hour trying to do the same thing. I understand your frustration, I had to walk away and think to myself, does it really matter, I just waisted an hour on something so little. Good luck :)
Hey girl, did you catch the fix for our problem. Just in case ya didn't here ya go.

I tried it and it worked perfectly!

Is there a way to use the word press justify tool on sentences the same way it is used on paragraphs?
I agree with Glyn, justification does make the text harder to read. I always use flush left. ~Marion
Thanks for the advice Marion. A fellow WA'r turned me on to the justify tab...I'm still not sure about it so we'll see. Adds extra work to the process as well!
Appreciate your reply.
Andy
Only when the sentence is long enough, otherwise it doesnot work I suppose.
Sellect sentence and click justify.
Thanks Loes. Yeah, that's what happens. I was hoping there was some way around it just to clean things up a bit but I guess not.
Appreciate the quick reply!

Is there a WA tutorial for adding Rakuten/Linkshare affiliate text links to website content?
I use linkshare/Rakuten as well as commission junction. It's super easy to add links. First off, join the http://cj.com and linkshare affiliate programs. Second, apply for anything and everything to get approved. Some are easy to become affiliates. Third, once you are approved you will get an affiliate I'd that gets imbedded in the html coding. Copy the codes from the products or banners in the "text" areas on your WP sites. You can add a text widget and copy the code you got from cj or lunkshare.
I hope that helps
Thanks. No personal problems in joining any programs. I was just trying to find a short cut of not having to post the code in as text.... I want to anchor link by URL to words in the content. When I copied this particular affiliates link in as an url it was not driving straight to the product for some reason when I attached it to the word.
So, I just broke down and plopped the link in WP text, then replaced the word so it would work off the word I wanted it linked to. Unlike Amazon it's just a lot of extra work.
Maybe its just this one affiliate program that's giving me the issue, I don't know. I haven't tried linking any other Linkshare affiliate programs yet.
Thanks for the information, grateful.
Andy
Andy, go to links - deep linking - select your advertiser - enter the url for the product (copy this from the advertisers site) - select CREATE LINK. Then copy the new code and link to your text, picture or whatever you want. Don't forget to get it then to open in new window. Does this help? Olive
Thanks Olive, but actually I'm all done for now.
I will definitely make note of your tip and make use of it next time around.
I appreciate the reply.
Andy
I just went to look up what Rakuten/Linkshare was. I think it is possible, but I have a funny feeling it may involve some special html code. They have support. If I think something might work I always give it a try.

If the default asynchronous code doesn't work try the synchronous code alternative.
Worked for me, anyway. I think it depends on your theme. Glyn
Thanks for the tip Glyn....I'll give it a shot.
