http://atlas.nextblock.com is a directory of stores, restarants and
services. The store descriptions open in little pop-up windows, and a
lot of hrefs use the target attribute, or BASE element. External links
always open in new windows.
I agree with what others have said about calendar widgets, and I would
not want to get rid of those. It's the ones that are unnecessary, the
external links, etc, that drive me nuts.
Maybe this is because I use mouse gestures, and therefore rarely look up
to see if the back button in available. It just gesture until I realize
something is wrong, look up, and realize I've been gesturing for no
reason.
