 * Great plugin, having one annoying problem though. I’m using WP v2.8.4 and plugin
   v2.1.1. I have one link for which I need to spawn a new window. I create a custom
   link and set the target as blank, but the link continues to open the page in 
   the same window – it won’t spawn a new one. Tried using the default theme, no
   luck – also deleted & recreated the link. Same behavior in IE7 and Firefox.
 * Anyone ever heard of this before? Am I missing something?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Brian,
 * yes that was a bug. I think some one already mentioned that to me, but it slipped
   through my fingers 🙂
 * Anyway, I just committed an update 2.1.2, which should have this fixed. Let me
   know if it works for you.
 * Thanks a lot!
