How to Add More Gadgets in your blog

Posted on 7:05 AM by Mohamed Omar

It's new topic I have been reading about it a lot and I made a lot of researches about this topic. It's about how to add more gadgets in your blog because in most of templates that you download from web are not full of gadgets and we need more gadgets for the blog...

The normal page elements are as the following
you can add gadget by clicking on "Add a Gadget".

But our proplem is how to add the "Add a Gadget" button in other places. If you view your template’s code using the Layout -> Edit HTML option, you can see several code elements enclosed in <b:section> and it have 2 options which are showaddelement and maxwidgets. The first one "showaddelement" have 2 values yes and no and it's responsible for appearing the "Add a Gadget" element in the required places....

For example, the default values for the Header section are as the following:

<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1'

showaddelement='no'>


in the previous code we see that "showaddelement" property = 'no' and "maxwidgets" value = '1' so that means that in the header place there's only 1 element which is the Blog Title

You can replace the previous code by this code to allow adding more gadgets at the header:

<b:section class='header' id='header' showaddelement='yes'>


Hope that it was good explanation for how to add more gadgets in blog
