  Is it possible to set my widgets so they open in a separate window when someone clicks on it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I want my widgets to open in a separate window when a visitor clicks on the image. How can that be done? Right now, when someone clicks on one of my widgets on the right side of my screen, it goes to the new site and therefore the person looses my blog page. Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

  You can see what the options are for configuring any individual widget here http://en.support.wordpress.com/category/widgets-sidebars/

  To achieve what you want in a text widget see here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/05/20/creating-html-hyperlinks-links-in-wordpress/ and scroll down to “How to set links to open in a new window”.

  OK. It looks like I don’t have an option to have my Image widget open in a new window. Thanks for your help!
