There are many ways to create Headlines / Latest Posts widget in Blogger. Here i wanna show one method to create animated Latest Posts by category widget by using Google AJAX Feed API. Below are the steps;

<script type="text/javascript">
function LoadDynamicFeedControl() {
var feeds = [
{title: 'Blogging Tips',
url: 'http://www.bloggingtips.com/feed/'
},
{title: 'PC Tips',
url: 'http://www.pctipsbox.com/feed/'
},
{title: 'Rare and Weird',
url: 'http://eyebrowsmcgee.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'
},
{title: 'Photos',
url: 'http://feed.photobucket.com/featured.rss'
}];
var options = {
stacked : true,
horizontal : false,
title : "Headlines"
}
In the Page Elements section, you can add a Latest posts widget / Gadget to your blog in Blogger. Just click Add a Gadget button, then choose Feed, and put your blog RSS feed in the box, and you have the latest posts widget in your blog.

If you want to change an image of your blog template, you must find an image host to host the image. If you use Blogger as your blogging platform, you don't have to find another image host. Blogger itself can be your image host. The image will load faster than you use another image host and you don't have to register or join another image host to do it.
The default setting in Blogger when we post a video is the video will not be in line with the text. It is separated with the text. Sometime it is nice when we make a video in line with the text. If you want to make your video in line with the text, whether your video from Youtube, Blogger itself, or anywhere else, just put the code as i show you below.<span style="margin: 9px; float: left; display:
block;">

Happy coding and blogging. All the best :)
If you got many posts that you want to apply or remove a label, you don't have to enter one by one your post to do that. There is another easier way that can save you much times. Don't worry, it's so easy not like what you hear of what to do. But make sure you already create a label that you want to apply. The wonderful steps are like below;
When we copy embedded code from YouTube video, the size is quite small. Maybe you want to resize it to look more bigger and clearer. Actually the standard small size is good for page loading. But sometimes, a bigger size is better for whom don't want to watch video in fullscreen and have better internet speed.
Blogging will always involve with links to another websites. You can insert link / hyperlink in Blogger blog post with highlight the text and click the Link button. But the default setting is the link that open in a same window. So when visitors click the link in your blog / website, they will move to the linked website and leave your blog. They must click Back button to go back to your blog. So if they surf many pages in the linked website, they must click many times to go back or they must find in the recent pages shortcut list to your blog.
Blog post is more interesting with photos or videos. I'm here now to explain about how to adjust photo thumbnail in Blogger blog post. I created a video as shown below to show you how to do it. You don't have to go to Picasaweb to copy codes of thumbnails and so on. Just do it in your blog post editor in Blogger, as simple as that.

As I mentioned last time, people who would have kept a journal of a trip, an education or even just daily life have replaced the fancy bound book of blank pages with a Web log. Maybe I’m a full-blown exhibitionist because I’ve got a Web site full of my photos and little stories about my life with my family. A real Web site takes a lot of commitment, including big bucks for Web authoring software and a monthly fee for the Web hosting.
OK, let’s use Blogger.com as an example. Enter the URL www.blogger.com into the address bar of your browser. You could jump right into starting your own blog, but take a look at other blogs to get a sense of what a blog looks like in their system. I also recommend taking their tour by clicking the “Take a Quick Tour” button. That takes you through a few pages where they explain some of the features they offer, kind of like reading the outside of a box before buying. It’s a lot easier to use the features if you know what they are! |

5. Make Up Your Title
The next requirement is to create a catchy title for your blog. Remember, folks will be scanning long lists of blogs and if your blog title stands out, you are going to get more traffic. I’m not the greatest at this advertising stuff so my blog is simply Roy’s Geek Place.
For security purposes, you have to read a word with squiggly letters and type the letters into a box. This keeps automated bots from creating blogs and using up the resources these people have kindly made available. |
6. Use a Template for Some Color
Blogging started out as a simple, text-only thing, usually with a typewriter-like font on a white background. No frills at all. Since most of us are used to staring at a colorful screen with fancy fonts and graphic renderings for borders, why not let your blog do the same? Many blog hosts offer templates to help give your blog some eye appeal. A template is sort of a blank form for you to fill out, but in this case it includes colors and positioning of the text on the screen. The easy way is to select one of the templates offered up as part of the blog creation. You can preview the templates that you see in thumbnail format. Just click on one you like to expand it. You can change the template later if you wish. If there is a template that you like except for one or two features, go for it and go back and change those features later. That will take some HTML coding, but it isn’t that hard. I’ll have to wait for a future installment to get into that. |
7. Spice Your Blog Up with Photos
It’s easy to get a headshot of yourself with a digital camera. It’s best to get someone to take the photo for you, but you can do it with a tripod and the self-timer, or even just balance the camera where it points at your face. Don’t try to take a picture of yourself in a mirror-all you’ll get is a photo of the flash going off. Don’t worry about trying to crop the photo close around your face. Do that with your photo editing software. While you are at it, knock down the resolution to something like 200 by 300. That’s plenty for a headshot on a blog page. In fact, make sure the photo fits in the blog host’s size restriction. I have to stay below 50 Kilobytes at my blog host site. Each blog host is different, but usually you can upload the photo from your computer or point the blog host to a copy of it on the Web and the blog host will steal it for your blog. Of course, there are those who don’t want their own face and will snatch someone else’s from their Web site; whatever floats your boat. |
8. Group Blogs
Like many people, my family is now spread out from the East coast to the West. We call each other on the telephone occasionally, but the majority of communication is via e-mail. That gets complicated because sometimes family members don’t copy the original message, but only make comments so it’s hard to follow the ongoing exchange. Also, one member might rattle on about several subjects and the comments might come back as a separate message. It’s hard to put the thoughts back together.
I think we are going to jump on the blog bandwagon and set up an extended family blog. That way we can each interject comments and questions almost like a discussion around the dinner table. The idea of a group blog works for almost any group, including teams of people working on a common project separated by distance or even different shifts at work.
