I’ll be a dissenting voice - I don’t like links that open up in another window. It takes control away. If I want it opening in a new window, I just need to hold down an extra key to make it happen. If I want it in the same window - which happens because I feel I’m done with the original - opening a new window means I have to go back to the first window and close it. Further if it is in the same window, I can use my back button to see where I’ve been to get there: but not if I’ve closed it.

Anyway, I don’t often read this blog, but I thought you might be interested to see the reasons why someone prefers the other way.

The banner is just lovely - so rich with colour and … well sheer talent! I do like going to a new page through links - that’s the way to discover new things. Even if you aren’t into what you got sent to, it sometimes serves to show what a blogger you love is inspired by or whatever.

I love the new banner Mimi! I like your newer style of felt dolls and robots, but I also missed your painted faces dolls. It’s nice to see them as part of the banner.

I prefer a new window to open so that I can go back and look at the blog that I was reading. Otherwise sometimes there are so many interesting links that I have to remember to click back on my browser. Of course I use Firefox so it’s nice to have multiple tabs open. Makes web-browsing so much easier.

I haven’t met anyone via blogs yet. But a new member to our doll club was excited to talk about some of the blogs that we visit. It was like meeting someone who had similar tastes in books or music. Always a nice thing.

The banner is to die for…and I prefer a new page, but wish there was a magic wand that could show you where you got that new page.

When I’m blog jogging, I frequently find something new and wonderous and have no recollection of how I got there…

Oh well, can’t have everything and just knowing where to find great blogs and wonderful people is enough for me.

Peace,

I think new windows are good. If I want to keep reading the original page AND there are good links on the new one, I may never get back to where I started (and you want people to come back to your page!)

Oh, love the new banner!Very pretty!! And I’m definitely a new window/tab person. It annoys me when I’m reading a blog and have to back click if I click on an outside link.

For viewing of your site, everything looks wonderful.

I love your banner. I think I might have to change my banner too. I have not been satisfied with any of the ones I have had so far.
I like a seperate page too. There is one thing though with your new blog I am having to fill up my name,email,website everytime I want to comment. The previous one had an option where either you could tick it to remember or not as you wished.
