When you upload a picture to Blogger's picture gadget, you have the option to include a link to that picture. By default, the link loads on the same tab where the gadget is located - thus shifting your reader away from your domain. The tweak in this page will show you how you can make the link open on a new tab. Let's cut to the chase shall we?
Step 1:
If you're using the old Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - Expand Widget Template
If you're using the new Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - Expand Widget Template
Next, find and delete the following lines:

Step 2:
Paste the following lines in place of the deleted lines in Step 1:
Click on 'Save' when you're done.

Paste the following lines in place of the deleted lines in Step 1:
