.: Blogger in Draft gadgets: Popular Posts gadget and Blog's Stats widget~~

:-D

(Another old post taken)
Stumbled yesterday when I'm trying to edit my personal blog, this new Blogger gadgets is now available for us to use. And I do recommend you to use the draft version of Blogger, because I'm afraid that you cannot use this new features in normal Blogger. OK, now back to the gadgets~

Blogger Popular Posts.

Popular Posts configuration

This gadget is meant to show our blog reader our most viewed posts. We can configure it to show popular posts since the last 7 days, 30 days or just show our most viewed posts of all time. The default setting will show the gadget as "Popular Posts" (can be edited), with snippets of our posts title. Check the boxes if you prefer to have your popular posts comes with image thumbnail and it's snippets~~ (I remember this gadget works very similar to LinkWithin, rite? Heehee).
;-)

Blogger Popular Posts is best use to showcase our other related article, to show our reader/customer what other items (posts) available in our blogspot, so they will spend more time there. Sometimes our other popular articles can helps attracts more new readers too~ But a word of caution from me, this gadget must be placed correctly so your business blogspot won't become awkwardly super elongated...

Blogger Blog's Stats widget.

Blog's Stats configuration

This gadgets works like normal ordinary counter stats (like Feedburner counter), but this Blogger Blog's Stats widget incorporate live graph for the total visitors within the latest one month period. We can choose this counter to animate itself, but it won't animate until our blog is visited by a lot of people. 4 different styles is available, and of course I would love to have every parts of it so the fourth styles really suits me.   :-)

If you search on the net, there is some practice of not showing this visitor counter on your blog if your number is not that "attractive", which means your blog reader count is below than 100. New visitor might think that your blog is a crappy one because less visits means less popular, less valuable content, etc. So, new blog might need to rethink again before adding this gadget in your business blogspot.

By the way, do keep in mind to choose the right coloration for you Blog's Stats (either black or white transparent) so it will not conflict or become invisible with your blogspot background color~

So, that is our newest Blogger gadgets, and feel free to use it in your blogs~~
