Tutorial: Design Your Blog with Gadgets

This is a tutorial on how to customize the style of your blog by using Blogger’s Gadgets.

This post was inspired by the Blogger Document, titled Change the design of your blog.

“Gadgets” are tools a user can add to sections of their blog, such as the sidebar. Each gadget has a different feature, like search bars, follower counts, and more!

Steps:


1. Log into Blogger.

2. On the left sidebar, select the “Layout” tab.

3. Click on the blue “Add a Gadget” hyperlinked text. In my example, I will be adding the gadget in the 

sidebar.

4. Select the Gadget.

A list of gadgets available on Blogger. It features AdSense, Featured Posts, Blog Search, HTML/JavaScript, Profile, Blog Archive, Page Header, and Followers.

5. Customize the gadget’s settings and select “Save.”

The Configure Labels section in Blogger that allows users to customize the gadget's settings.

6. The gadget should now be displayed!

Review: summer-2022.blogspot.com

This is a review on a fantastic tutorial-style blog, CIS 210 Social Website development assignments ! For all things Blogger, be sure to check out this very helpful blog! The posts are informative and easy to follow. The creator uses screen grabs and attention-grabbing symbols like check marks and underlining that help explain their topic even more. They prioritize accessibility, their symbols are high contrast and they include alt-tags on their images.  Also, they prioritize design. They use a beautiful blue theme! It truly reflects the writer's love for nature.   My favorite post, Theme Can Capture Your Audience ,   is an outside-the-box post with great descriptive writing that includes a hyperlink, which reads, “Click to Change Your Theme.”  This leads to a well written tutorial on how to customize your blog and it's theme. So creative!
