Mozilla Thunberbird ver3

I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird again after about 2-3 months of not using it. What I found was a more beautiful interface, seemingly faster response, and easier setup (at least for Gmail).

The latest is at 3.0.1 and it's excellent. I believe Thunderbird is reason enough for getting a Gmail account if you don't have one yet. I also believe that if you use e-mails regularly, you should have Gmail as the main service ;') then install Thunderbird to make e-mailing a breeze. What got me into this is the IMAP setup that I think only Gmail implements beautifully.

I almost switched to Outlook as my e-mailing client, but here comes Thunderbird with an improved version. So, congratulations again, you Mozilla people you, and thank you very much!

My links now open in new window

Today I implemented this code in my Shadouness blog so that clicking any links in my posts will open a new window:

Make All Links Open In A New Window 
http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2008/02/make-all-links-open-in-new-window.html

Instead of coding each individual link to a blog, picture, or web site, you can make all links within your blog open in a new window. Simply add a "<base target='_blank' />" to your blog, in the header.

Find
<head>

And change that to:
<head>
<base target='_blank' />



Thanks to the wonderful blog The Real Blogger Status.

EDIT 12-05-2009, 15:05: I reverted to the old link behavior. This new one gets somewhat annoying :'p It's OK if you use shortcut keys to navigate while browsing, but few people do that.

EDIT 12-08-2010, 22:09: Okay... I'm using the "open in new window" behavior in everything. Heh. I don't want people to go "backing" and "forwarding" with my site and the links that I provide ='p
