[yashsaraswat2004]

Description

This PR addresses issue #248, which involves the social media links in the footer (Twitter and LinkedIn) not opening in new tabs. Currently, these links navigate away from our site, which can disrupt the user experience.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to any page with the site footer visible.
2. Locate the social media icons in the footer.
3. Click on either the Twitter (X) or LinkedIn icon.

Current Behavior

• The link opens in the same browser tab, replacing our website.

Expected Behavior

• The link should open in a new browser tab, keeping our website open in the original tab.

Changes Made

• Updated the <a> tags for the Twitter and LinkedIn social media links to include the target="_blank" attribute, ensuring that these links open in new tabs.

Expected Outcome

Social media links in the footer will now open in new tabs, improving user experience by allowing users to stay on our site while accessing external profiles.

Additional Context

This change ensures that users can easily return to our site after interacting with external social media links, aligning with best practices for user navigation.
