Recent Posts Widget with Thumbnails for Blogger



Recent Posts Blogger
Today I am going to show you how you can add an amazing and wonderful Recent Posts widget to your blogger blog. This widget fetches the latest posts via JavaScript and show it in a beautiful manner. This widget displays the recent posts with their thumbnails. When hovered we can see CSS transition effect taking place, the box rotates and a box containing the post snippet appears.

This widget is very attractive and eye-catching. It has a custom loading effect too which makes the widget much more awesome. A quick demo of this widget can be seen just below.





Please see the width of the widget will be different in your blog. It is quite big just for demonstration purpose.

To add this widget to your blog just follow the below instructions.

Adding the Widget in Layout


Go to Blog Title → Layout → Add Widget → HTML/JavaScript. Paste the below code.

<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<style type="text/css">
#post-gallery {width:100%; margin:0px auto;font:normal 11px Arial,Sans-Serif;color:##000000;padding:8px;}

#post-gallery .rp-item:hover .hidden {display:block;}</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var rpTitle     = "Recent Posts",       // Widget Title
    numposts    = 14,      // Number of Posts to show
    numchar     = 200,      // Number of Characters to be displayed
    rcFadeSpeed = 600,      // Speed
    pBlank      = "http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-htG7vy9vIAA/Tp0KrMUdoWI/AAAAAAAABAU/e7XkFtErqsU/s1600/grey.gif",      // If No Image
    blogURL     = "http://www.allbloggertricks.com/";       // Your Blog URL
</script>
<script src="http://files.allbloggertricks.com/Scripts/abt-recent-posts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

After adding the above code you may change Widget Title, Number of Posts to show and Your Blog URL. After that save the widget and finally save the template.

You are done now. Now you and your visitors can see this awesome Recent Posts widget with Thumbnails in your blogger blog.

  18. Hi, this is probably one of the most unique recent posts widgets I've come across. I am testing it on a new template and for some reason a portion of the text boxes are being cut off on the third row and on the bottom row. Do you have any advice?

    Thank you.
