Identify External Links
About
This plugin will add a special CSS class to all links in your entries and in your comments that go to external sites (sites other than your site). For more complex external link identification needs, check out Link Indication.

Instructions
Copy and paste the text. Save it in a file named identify-external-links.php. Make sure there are no spaces before the opening <?php or after the closing ?>. Activate it from within the WordPress admin interface. You can then use a.extlink { } in your CSS to style it.
You can also edit a setting in the top of the plugin to add target="_blank" to external links, so that they open in a new window (this is from popular demand… please note that this is an annoying thing to do to your readers.)
