  Hi

  Can anyone tell me on how to open my widget link to a new window? I have an image on my widget which I linked it to a website. It opens on the same window an my blog. What should I do to make this link open to a new window?

  Please advise.
  Thanks!

  It’s always best to provide a link to your blog whenever you are asking a question here. We volunteers usually need that to be sure you are in the correct forum and to give you accurate answers.

  adding blank to your code will make the link open in a new page:

  <a href="URL_OF_LINK" target="_blank"> src="URL_OF_IMAGE" alt="" /></a>

  Hey, I’m glad it worked out for you!

  Did you know you can link your blog to your name? Check out #2 on this:

  (we are volunteers in the forums, and a link is very helpful for us. And for you: faster responses, and when you comment on other blogs, people can find you—and you won’t look spammy!!)
