While I love BlogPatrol, they use the dreaded target=”_blank” tag in their little site button. If you prefer not to have it do that, search through the javascript that you plugged into your site and look for this section:

document.write(’<a href=”http://www.blogpatrol.com target=”_blank”>’);

and replace it with this:

document.write(’<a href=”http://www.blogpatrol.com>’);

I’m not sure how to make those stats public or if anyone would actually want to do that.
