Widgets

In reply to Kim and others who have asked...

Adding ABC widget.

ABC have premade widgets and the facility to make your own.
Follow hyperlink to ABC site.
Choose items for your widget.
Click on Get this widget today.
(At this point you can choose to publish straight way by clicking the blogger icon but you have to submit password. I did not choose this option.)
Copy embed code.
Go to the design section in your blog.
Click on add gadget.
Click on HTML/Java script.
Paste in embed code.
Click save.
Click on preview if you want to check.
Click save.

You should now have the widget on your blog.
I have tried this method to embed other widgets and it has always worked.
A word of caution though...if your followers have a slow internet connection, widgets can slow the page loading time.

Hope this has helped

  1. Hi Juliet,
    Thank you so much for your step by step guide to adding a Widget. I successfully completed this however found that my "Internet stopped working" due to a Flash problem - so I have removed the Widget from my blog and all seems to be going well now. What a shame! I will check into this further when I have a bit more time - for now it's a reflective synopsis that has my attention...Thanks again for sharing your know-how. Cheers, Kim
