5+ Recent Posts Widget for Blogger: Latest and Stylish Widgets

Recent posts widget is the best solution to represent all of your recently published post in front of your readers. Usually, we add this recent post widget in our blog’s sidebar. By default, blogger doesn’t support this widget from the widget panel. But we can create and use recent posts widget for blogger very easily.

Adding a recent posts widget on our blog, we can improve user experience dramatically. Readers will find all of our latest posts through this widget. This widget will increase the chance to get more clicks from readers. This will decrease the bounce rate of our blog.

In this way, the widget helps us to improve our blog’s SEO and user experience. So this is our duty to add this widget on our blog and try to make it more attractive through custom design. I know that every blogger is not a web developer or a designer. That’s why I will provide some stylish recent post widgets code which you can add by copying and pasting.

RECENT POSTS WIDGET FOR BLOGGER:

All of these widgets are beautifully designed and tested for blogger. I hope you can add this widget to your blogger blog without any hesitation. Also, I will provide the instruction to add these widgets. I will show you the configuration part for each widget too. So let’s come to the point:

1. Sliding Recent Posts Widget: 

This is an attractive recent post widget for blogger. This widget will show 4 recent post images at a time in your blog’s sidebar. It will slide recent post images defined by you. The title of the post will flash over the image. This is a responsive widget so you don’t have to become worried about the responsiveness.

Code:

FeaturedPostSlider({

</script>

Configuration:

1. Replace the blog URL “http://blogornate.blogspot.com/” with your own.
2. You can replace the max post number to slide more posts but my suggestion is to leave it as default.
3. You can change the auto play “false” to stop auto sliding.

2. Recent Post Widget with Thumbnail:

This is another beautifully designed recent post widget for blogger. This widget will show 5 recent posts of your blog with a thumbnail. Thumbnail images are adjusted between borders. Title and a small snippet will be visible on the widget. The best thing is, people can also see the previous posts through the navigation system of this widget.

Code:

<style scoped='' type='text/css'>
