  I have added an image widget and have embedded a link, so that when you click the image a link opens. I would like this link to open in a new window/tab rather than the one in use. How can I do this?

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

  You’ll need to add “target=blank” onto the HTML for the link. Here’s an example:

  <a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Here's a link to Google.</a>

  Does that make sense?

  I understand HTML and understand what that means, however this is the widget sidebar, how can I modify HTML on the sidebar?

  I have tried entering the link as:

  http://www.link.com” target=”_blank

  Because I know that wordpress adds a ” to both the start and end of a link however this didn’t work.

  Ahh, sorry. I misread that. In order to make this happen you would need to use a text widget and use the HTML to insert the image/link.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.
