25 Great Blogger Widgets



Many people think that Blogger lacks in all of the extra goodies you can add to other platforms like WordPress, but it simply isn’t true. By using widgets you can customize your blog as much as you like by just adding little snippets of code to the sidebars.
Allow users to talk to you via IM, see what your most popular posts are, or even read news from sites such as Mashable. With these 25 widgets, you can create an even more powerful way of communicating with your visitors, just make sure you don’t overload them with too many!
What are some of your favorite widgets for use on Blogger?

Aloha....this is a great posting. very useful information about the widgets...(top 25). At http://laakeaoceanwedding.blogspot.com/ there are several other useful widgets that we use to stay 'fresh'. We have alot of destination wedding brides that are wanting to get married in Hawaii. It's important that the brides know what weather to expect ahead of time and plan their wedding in the certain seasons of the year.

This allows for future planning and ease of usability. THANK YOU! Check out my wedding blog and let me know what I can do to improve.
