  I have a Flickr widget linked to a group rss photo pool. I’ve been messing around with it, and been having a lot of problems, but they all seem to be pretty much flickr-side problems. The one query I have about this standard widget, is: Is there a way to edit the target of all links on the Flickr widget to open up in a new tab? I’d rather not have my visitors click the back button every time they navigate to see a photo in the photostream.

  I searched the forums and found similar threads, but no responses to them. Thanks.

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

  Unfortunately, that’s not one of the things that’s configurable at WordPress.com.

  I have been trying to do the same thing. A way around it is to upload an image to the media manager and with html add it to a text widget, which you can then configure to open in a new tab.
