Add a Gadget in Blogger.com


After login into Blogger.com, go to the dashboard of Blogger.com. Select "Layout" then "Page Elements". There are several places you can add a gadget.
  • right below the title and above the posts;
  • the side bar;
  • the footer;
It is easy to identify them because all of them have a big linked title yelling "Add a Gadget". Click on the link and you can choose the gadgets you want to add. After adding them, you can drag and rearrange them. You can also drag one from the side bar to the footer, etc.

If you are using a template without one or two "Add a Gadget" boxes and you want to add them back, you can do that by modifying the HTML on the "Edit HTML" tab. For example, if the "Add a Gadget" box below the title is missing and you want it, click "Edit HTML" tab and look for the following code in the <body> section of the code:

   <b:section class='crosscol' id='crosscol' showaddelement='no'/>

and change the "showaddelement" attribute from 'no' to 'yes'.

Similar changes can be made to the other sections to show or hide the "Add a Gadget" boxes. After you change the code, do not forget to click the "SAVE TEMPLATE" button. ^_^
