   Hi,

   I have the Recent Posts widget active in the sidebar of my wordpress blog.

   However, I want any recent post links that are clicked to open in a NEW window as opposed to the same one.

   Can anyone please tell me how I can do this?

   Thanks :)

   It seems the widget doesn't have this option.
   You could find where the widget is coded into the PHP files and hardcode this attribute into the links:
   target="_blank"

   Where is this widget code located? Is it /wp-includes/widgets.php or somewhere else?

   And how would I hardcode that attribute into it?

   I checked the widgets.php file but I couldn't find a place to add a target="blank" command.

   Does anyone know how to do this?
