Thanks for this, it did the trick - one mod from Sabine's comment.

Make the mods to Lines 728 and 837 on wp-includes/default-widgets.php

Modify these lines as below:

Line 728:
- -
$title = " $title";

- -

Line 837

- -
echo "

$title{$date}{$summary}{$author}

";

- -

Okay, thanks for sharing. I posted this on an older version of Wordpress than is out now so that might explain the line number differences.

First off - thanks for this info - works great.

My only comment is I had to do it to a different file with some slightly different line locations:
wp-includes/default-widgets.php

Line 762 - add it twice withing 2 brackets - which are for the RSS title link:

$title = " $title";

Line 835 which addresses the link of any articles you may display:

echo "

$title{$date}{$summary}{$author}

One way to fix the issue without editing core, would be to search for an “a href” with the class of “rsswidget” using jQuery. Then replace or add the attribute and value for target=”blank”.

This way you can update your wordpress file without worrying about any core mods. This jQuery solution could be added into the functions.php.
