Using the link tool and look at the bottom of the link properties box and you can select Same Frame (self).:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

target="_blank"

That is what is making your pages open in a new window/tab. You need to change that to:

target="_self"

if you're doing it manually instead of using the way Eric is saying. The way he is saying would be the correct way to input things like this though. Not sure where you're putting what you have above, but either way, the "blank" is what is causing your issue. Change that word to self and you should be fine or take the target part out completely which would even be better so it would be like this:

<a href="http://jilmi.org/HOME.html"><img src="Church/worldspace.gif" width="1280" height="769"
style="position: fixed;
top: 20%;
left: 20%;
margin-top: -50px;
margin-left: -50px;"/></a>


I highlighted the part of the code affected above.

It's fun learning. If learning new things doesn't pop your hood then why do it.:) Have fun with your new discovery.:)
