Every time you add a widget and pictures to your blog, this will add an outbound link, usually like this 'http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogid=8632444376522355252&widgettype=label&widgetid=label1&action=editwidget' for widget and for the picture you can see here.
You can check inbound and outbound links in your blog here :

1. Go to layout and edit html, check the 'Expand Widget Templates'

I would like to share information how to make a link that you added on your blog will be not indexed as 'outbound links'.
It is easy, all you need to do is add rel="nofollow" script in link that you want to add.
For example, you posted a link to my blog :
<a href="http://blog-helpers.blogspot.com">Tutorial for blogger</a>Change to
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog-helpers.blogspot.com">Tutorial for blogger</a>Or
<a href="http://blog-helpers.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tutorial for blogger</a>* Do not do this if you exchange link with another blog!
Additional information for the user of blogspot, every time you upload a picture to your posts, this make one additional outbound links, like the code below :
<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibEoO6sr7Sow1fRb2IlPZkwPiteUw5nL26gZtP1sFTaziKH-5sboBFATehXWry71wDNIeIJSkO5pEwnOZglW2iSSgXyURa0pMxAMr1yX53A0hE2T1nJKs0qUE4CCReYdm6D7mzoAw9AvXM/s1600/blogger-logo.jpg">You can add rel="nofollow" like this :
<img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibEoO6sr7Sow1fRb2IlPZkwPiteUw5nL26gZtP1sFTaziKH-5sboBFATehXWry71wDNIeIJSkO5pEwnOZglW2iSSgXyURa0pMxAMr1yX53A0hE2T1nJKs0qUE4CCReYdm6D7mzoAw9AvXM/s200/blogger-logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461657008111857586" border="0" /></a>
