GACK!!!

I told Word that I wanted the link in the last post to open in a new window.  This should have made the link look like <a href=”….” Target=”_blank”>.  For some reason, the link does not open in a new window.  As such, I opened edit mode and checked the code. Yet again, in the Microsoft tradition, the code behind the previous post is absolutely ATTROCIOUS!!!

Here it is (let’s see if it comes through as code or it is translated)
