[vekia]

in this case you have to modify the template (.tpl) file of the blocnewproducts module.

Open file: modules/blocknewproducts/blocknewproducts.tpl or if exist this one: themes/_YOUR_THEME_/blocknewproducts/blocknewproducts.tpl

 

you have to be familiar with smarty / html

 

if you don't know how to modify the files - feel free to write, i will try to help
