Generally in Blogger site
or any other Blogging
platform you would see
Blog Post open in current tab or window.
And if you wish to open a
post in new tab or
window then you must
right click on your mouse
button and have to
choose Open Link in
New Tab or Window. But
if you wish to make open
your Blog posts always
in new window then you
have to add additional
code.
This is an important
issue that visitors when
visit a Blog page then
after reading content
then skip to the another
article. But if s/he wants
to return to the previous
article then they may
forget about that specific
content. As a result
readers may miss some
interesting content and
Blogger will lose some
extra page view. In addition there are many
reasons behind to open
posts in new window or
in a new tab.
If you Make Blog Posts
Open in New Tabs or
New Window then your
Blog readers can easily
visit and read new
content from new tabs
as well able to look at
previous contents,
because when Blog
readers click on Blog
Post’s titles then content
will open in new tabs or
in new windows.
Obviously this will bring
more page views and
Blog’s bounce rate will
reduce dramatically.
When readers open new
content in new tabs then
previous posts remain
open in older tab, as a
result it helps to reduce applying a simple trick
we can make open all
Blog posts in new tab for
increasing the reader’s
engagement with your
Blog posts.
For opening any URL in
new tab or window we
use a tag like below. This
indicate that open the
URL in new window or
tab.
- target='_blank'
This tag line we
frequently use to open a
single URL in new tab or
window. So I will use this
code for all Blog posts
URL. After all if is not
possible to add tag line
manually for all Blog
posts.
Step #1: Go to “https://www.blogger.
com” and Sign in to your
account
Step #2: From “Blogger
Dashboard” click on -
>Template ->Edit HTML
Step #3: And one by one
locate the below codes
in your Blogger template.
Generally you will find
those after <b:includable id='post' var='post'> code line.
<a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
And
<a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
Step #4: Now copy
target='_blank' tag and
paste it on the above
codes. After adding the
tag on code it will look
like below.
<a expr:href='data:post.link' target='_blank' ><data:post.title/></a>
And
<a expr:href='data:post.url' target='_blank' ><data:post.title/></a>
Step #5: Finally click
“Save template” button
from the top.
Now go to your Blogger
site and click on your
Blog post URL and see
the result. All Blog posts
will open in a new tab or
window.
However this trick is only
applicable in your main
Blog posts. But if you your recent post or
Random post widget
then you have to add it
different. This trick will
work 100% in Blogger
default template,
including custom
template. But in case of
some custom Blogger
template it may not work
because of different code.
