How I do insert a Recent Posts Feed to a Blogger Blog

The instructions provided by us are very clear and helpful to add recent posts feed to Blogger (Blogspot) blog sidebar. As of the new update I'd like to provide a more detailed breakdown of the steps to ensure that anyone following this guide can do so successfully:

 

Adding a recent posts feed to a Blogger blog:

 

Log in to your Blogger account and go to your blog's dashboard.

 

Access Layout:

From the left-hand menu, click "Layout" to access the layout editor.

 

Add a gadget:

In the layout editor, find the part of the page where you want to add the Recent Posts feed. Click on the "Add a Gadget" link in this section.

 

Select a feed widget:

In the "Add Gadget" window, scroll down the list of available gadgets and find the "Feed" widget. Click on it to select it.

 

Configure the feed URL:

After selecting the "Feed" widget, a configuration window will pop up. In the "Feed URL" field, replace "yoursitename" with the actual name of your blog and enter the following URL.

 

Ruby

Copy the code.

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

If you're using FeedBurner, enter your FeedBurner feed URL here.

 

Preview the feed:

Once you've entered the feed URL, click the "Continue" or "Preview" button. Blogger will retrieve your feed and show a preview of the latest posts. This helps you ensure that you have entered the correct feed URL.

 

Customize the feed title:

The feed widget will likely display your blog title by default. If you want to change it, delete the default title and type "Recent Posts" or any other title you prefer.

 

Save the gadget:

Click the "Save" button to add the feed widget to your blog's sidebar.

 

Review your blog:

To view changes, click the "View Blog" button at the top of the page. This will open your blog in a new tab, and you should see a "Recent Posts" feed widget in your chosen sidebar section.

 

Replace the widget (optional):

If you want to rearrange the widgets in your sidebar, you can go back to the "Layout" editor and use the drag and drop feature to rearrange the gadgets on the page.

 

that's it! You have successfully added the Recent Posts feed to your Blogger blog sidebar. This widget will display the latest posts from your blog, and visitors will be able to click on links to read full posts.

 

Add a Recent Posts Feed to the Sidebar of a Blogger Blog

 

1. After logging in, go to Layout > Page Elements on your Blogger blog.

2. Select the Feed widget by clicking Add a Gadget in the sidebar.

3. A pop-up dialog box will appear asking you to set the feed's URL. Type the words in the box provided:

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

Make sure yoursitename is replaced with the name of your site. 

4. If you have successfully supplied the feed address for your post, Blogger will retrieve the feed and show a preview of it in a dialog box. The last five posts on your website will be linked to in the feed.

5. Substitute Recent Posts with the name of your blog.

6. Select "Save"

7. To view your new Recent Posts stream in action, click View Blog.

 

8. You may move the widget's position in the sidebar by going back to Layout > Page Elements and utilizing the drag and drop functionality to place new blog articles on your site.

 

Troubleshooting

Your default feed URL will be redirected by Blogger.com if you use a feed delivery provider like FeedBurner. In this instance, you must input the feed's Feedburner address, which is probably something like this:

(http://feeds2.feedburner.com/YourSiteName)

Note how Feedburner capitalizes the name of your blog. If you're unsure about the feed address, check Feedburner for the precise address. See these articles for more information about burning your feed at Feedburner:
