Link problems...the exact opposite

I have the exact opposite problem from what is being discussed here. I've embedded serendipity in my web site (still testing and working the bugs out), and would prefer if the details or expanded information (and additional pages) would stay in the same page, so that people do NOT leave my site. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas?

here's the page so you can see what I'm talking about:

Thanks.

The best way to create additional pages id by using the Static Pages event plugin. These extra pages then appear in your main window with your plugin bars visible.
They can contain any html you wish.
The other advantage is that they use the same CSS as the rest of your site.

thanks for the response...any chance you can explain how to do this? I tried to poke around and figure it out..but don't even know where to begin.

I'm in a bit of a rush today, so briefly:

First download it with Spartacus.

A new menu item "Static Pages" appears in admin.

Next to new entry press "go"

A window opens similar to a "new Entry" page but with a few more options. This, when filled in is your new static page.

Important: change the name of the permalink to match the name you give your page. The permalink is the link you would use when making a menu plugin with an html nugget, or when you want to link to the page from any other.

Have a play - and don't worry about child pages until you are used to it.

There is loads more info on the Forums.
Enjoy
Ian :D
