 * I am trying to create a post with the “Link post format” but I am either doing
   it wrong or something is not working.
 * I want the title to display that external link icon and take me to an external
   link in a new tab instead of taking me inside the post when I click on the post’s
   title.
 * What is the correct way to do that?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi there!
 * There isn’t a built in way to link a post’s title to an external site in WordPress
   or the Scrawl theme.
 * To achieve that functionality, I recommend searching through [the plugin directory on WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/).
   I had a search and found the “Page Links To” plugin, which would help you to 
   achieve what you’re after:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/)
 * Let me know if you decide to give that plugin a try or if you have any other 
   questions.
