Recent posts and comments widget

As you can see on the sidebar of this blog, I'm able to list down the most recent Posts and Comments along with it's relevant details. The great thing about this is, there's no script to install or javascript involved. It can be easily done just by using Blogger's widget feature.

1. First before you start, you'll need to find out your Blogger's Posts feed and Comments feed.

http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/

http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default/

where blogname represents your blog.



2. Next, log in to your blogger account.
3. On the dashboard under your blog title, click "Layout"
4. Once your blog layout appears, click "Add a Page Element" on your sidebar.
5. Choose "Feed" and add to blog.
6. Insert your Posts or Comments feed into "Feed URL".
7. Customise your settings:
e.g. Title: Recent Posts/Comments

Also, did you know that by listing your most recent post and comments actually helps with your Search Engine Optimizations?

Happy bloggin.
