External links to the websites should alway open in new window. Else users will leave your website and may not return back.
Also its good to display a message box stating that they are leaving the website. Use the following method to achive this.
1. Create new file external.js
2. Put the following code in there.
$(function() {
$('a[@href^=http]').not('[@href*=yourdomain.com]')
.addClass('external-link')
.click(function() {
window.open(this.href, '_blank');
return false;
});
});
In above code replace yourdomain.com with your website domain.

If you want to customize the User Login box so that everything is displayed on one line like this, then add the following code to the page.tpl.php file of your theme.
<?php global $user; ?>
<?php if ($user->uid) : ?>
<?php print(t('Logged in as:'))?> <?php print l($user->name,'user/'.$user->uid); ?> |
<?php print l((t('log out')),"logout"); ?>
<?php else : ?>
Make the node links prominent or change appearance.

Node links are the links that usually appear on footer of each node, namely - "Read More", "Add Comment" etc.
It is usually a good practice to make it prominent to improve the look of the website.
You will have to modify the
1. Style sheet
2. node.tpl.php.
To make the node links appear like on http://www.csqa.info/drp/general_topics_quality_concepts ( light green ) add the following to your .css file
.links2 {
border-bottom: 1px solid #bbb;
padding-bottom: 0.75em;
margin-bottom: 1.5em;
background-color: #E9FFCA;
color: #235F6B;
border-top: 1px solid #bbb;
padding-top: 0.5em;
