I have been helping a friend build a website using sitespinner pro. I posted a question on the sitespinner forum and they are really helpful. But my question "how do I know exactly where to place "target="_blank" in a html code wasn't answered with great depth. Maybe you might be able to add more. Here is the link to the forum and my post ... http://virtualmechanics.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8296057891/m/118107493

You are asking where to put it into every link?  Sometimes that depends on the code being used.
GENERALLY speaking, I will break apart the code to help explain how/why so you will recognize these components the next time.  The TARGET is added immediately following the link URL, before the > as shown in these samples:

A basic link is surrounded by this code:

--- Code: ---<a href=""> and </a>
--- End code ---

Here is a standard TEXT LINK:

--- Code: ---<a href="URL">LINK TEXT</a>  
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---<a href="http://www.samisite.com/">HOME PAGE</a>  
--- End code ---
HOME PAGE  

with target specified:

--- Code: ---<a href="URL" TARGET="_blank">LINK TEXT</a>  
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---<a href="http://www.samisite.com/" TARGET="_blank">HOME PAGE</a>  
--- End code ---



Here is a standard IMAGE LINK:

--- Code: ---<A HREF="LINK URL"><IMG SRC="IMAGE.JPG" ALT="MOUSEOVER TOOLTIP"></A>
--- End code ---

With target code added:

--- Code: ---<A HREF="LINK URL" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="IMAGE.JPG" ALT="MOUSEOVER TOOLTIP"></A>
--- End code ---

of course there are other snippets that can be added to specify more info, location, borders, size, etc.....
