I know that code cause i used it already on a link like that but as you can see, the link i use now is quiete long and i tried to paste the taget blank on different spots in the code but it doesnt work. Everytime i click the image it opens on the same page

Why are you trying to eliminate ways that your visitors can open the link. All browsers generally allow you to select from same tab, new tab or new window when you right click on a link and adding one of those long dead target thingies will at best stop them from being able to choose one of the three (or more) alternatives that they will ordinarily have.

Some browsers even allow you to predefine how different sorts of links will be opened (my browser is configured to open links within a site in the same tab and external links in a new tab) - depending on how the browser is set your target will either be ignored or will annoy your visitor by blocking their selected choice.

That's why target was deleted from HTML back in 1997.

I dont know if it is deleted but i do know it still is used and i want my link like that because most people dont have their browsers set to open everything in a new tab.

Look, i need to do this multiple times, what i want is when people clink the fb icon it goes in a new tab.

No it wasn't. It's currently a part of HTML5

I just checked your page and clicked on the image links where you have the target attribute and it does indeed work. Are you sure you were clicking on the right ones? You didn't apply the target attribute to all of them.

Maybe that’s because they don’t want links to open in new tabs/windows, or rather, they expect links to open in the same window. Why would you wanna force your perception on them?

Yes, it was. It was not part of (strict) HTML 4 and XHTML 1. It was only re-added to HTML 5 because HTML 5 is tag soup reloaded. That doesn’t mean it’s good practice to use it.

But let’s not start a debate on basic principles. felgall has made his point and I tend to agree with him, so whoever wants to follow does, and the other ones can go to hell.

All Hail Spookster!!
