Blogger in Draft is out with 2 new widgets - the Popular Posts widget and Blog's Stats widget.





Take note, they can only be seen when you're on Blogger in Draft. The normal Blogger doesn't have it yet.



On the Popular Posts widget, these are the available settings.





You can set the most view posts duration period and whether to include an image thumbnail (which is normally the first picture of the blog post) and also the snippet.



Unfortunately you can set the number of displayed blog posts right now. The fixed number is 10. Hopefully Blogger will add in the blog count feature as well later on.



On the Blog's Stats widget, these are the available settings.





Here, you can edit the stats style and the options.



That's all for now. Hopefully these additional Blogger widgets are useful for some of you!

Firstly, go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML.





Then search for </b:skin> and add this code before it.

To change the position of the Twitter button, you can change "300" (distance from the top) and "right" to "left" if you want the button to be on the left.



Then search for </body> and add this code before it.

<div id='twitter-follow'> <a href='http://twitter.com/username' target='_blank'><img alt='Follow Me on Twitter' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMZ_vki8k8_TMZdnOmUthJv9EpFwzvPopJuhBnuQRFKOHpLvdlRE_qX8iVI-awa4-riQCkC02gjFANlL_ZVQzC-yGfzhCEXZcz-Y0OVkmw4QCOma_WmciKUM0HY5A-lorY7wZRmNdXcU/s1600/twitter+follow+me+button.gif'/></a></div>

Remember to change the "username" to your Twitter account username.



If you want it to be "Follow Us on Twitter", use this image link - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPX6M22U7kSXTiiXDiBq4x0miSlW5FioNAIneqcigia4WaGqQgDq4HNOIBSzYRX_5djjdB6niW5IY4UZ8RnHUVhSBd1cz7GBZORoPGD6Q_jELA-Swkux96TH8l_MYjcVO9Ijgm-YMDG8/s1600/twitter+follow+us+button.gif
