Open link in new tab -HTML tutorial

Hi all! New week starting off great so today we're teaching another one of our easy HTML tutorials! We've received lots of emails asking how you can make your pictures, previous posts or other friend's sites to open in a new tab instead of switching back and forth using the browser buttons.
So naturally, our topic for today is exactly that: how to make a link open in a new tab.
