  I have a forum hosted elsewhere (I plan to have everything on a single domain once I’m done sorting out how I want things to look) and I would like to have a navigation tab at the top that goes right to the forum when clicked, not just to another WP page with a link to click.

  Can I do this, or am I limited to having a link in the sidebar?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thank you panaghiotisadam, for posting the information I just found the article and was getting ready to post the article link here but at least I have it bookmarked now for future reference.

  Excellent!! It works great and looks good!

  I’m really sucky at HTML, and it sure helps to have a place to ask questions like this.

  Is there any way to go one further and have the linked tab open in a new window?

  Never mind…I read the rest of the comments on that thread and got my answer.

  Thanks!

  @t3ck: I just happened to drop by now – usually it’s Richard that does all the linking to this post!

  @seventrees: You’re welcome. Sorry I didn’t see your follow-up question in time. (Hmm… I’d better add this piece of info in the post itself.)
