Stylish Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnail From a Particular Label

T

oday i have come up with another cool blogger hack, with lot of features and fully customization option, It’s about showing recent posts with/without thumbnail from any particular label/category in blogger. So if you want to do same with your blogger blog, You just need to add some simple script to your blogger template. You can find some default gadgets in blogger “Add page element” section to show recent posts, but they don’t provide an option to show recent posts from a particular category. So in this post, I will guide on how to show the recent posts with thumbnail in blogger.

How It Works? 

Well, this widget is works based on Javascript and Blogger JSON feed API. Your blog must be for Public visitors. other wise the Blogger JSON Feed API won’t works.First option in the generator below is "Show Recent Posts From Particular Category/Label" well if you want to show recent posts from particular any lebal then tick on the check box and enter lebal name in the input area, else if you want to show recent posts with all lebal/category of your blog then just unchecked the check box to show recent posts of your blog.

How To Install This Widget To Blogger?

Fill the required data and customize your widget in generator below,
Click on 'Generate' button, 
Next click the 'Preview' button to test your recent post widget in a new window,
Once you are satisfied with how your widget looks and behaves in the test window you just need to click on 'Add to Blogger' button to add this widget to your blog... :)
