How to Add Recent Posts & Recent Comments Widgets on Blogger

You may have noticed that in my sidebar I have recent posts & recent comments widgets. In Wordpress there are many plugins available to achieve this but in Blogger there is no such built in widget. These widgets are useful fir improving clicks and allowing people to easily see your recent content. This is especially useful when people land on your blog via a specific post. So I am going to show you how to add these widgets in blogger. The finished product will look like this:

Navigate to your blogger dashboard and select the 'layout' page. Click on add widget and select 'feed'. in the url field enter http://yoururl/feeds/posts/default.

Hit save.

Drag the widget to its desired location and click on save new arrangement.
