Add Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnail previews in your blog

Today I want to present to you a very nice Recent Posts widget that comes along with posts thumbnails and post summary as well. If you want to know how to add this Recent Posts widget/gadget to your Blogger blog, then follow the steps below:

Steps

• Go To Blogger > Layout and click on "Add a Gadget" link.
• From the pop-up window, scroll down and choose HTML/JavaScript
• Paste inside the empty box, the following code:

 <div class="eggTray">
<script src="http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/listbadge.js">{"pipe_id":"1a6640e2a78b2c6e736f2220529daae5","_btype":"list",
"pipe_params":{"URL":"YOUR-BLOG/SITE-URL/feeds/posts/default"},
"hideHeader":"false","height":"500","count": 8 }</script>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9px;" class="ycdr"><a href="http://os-trickz.blogspot.com/2013/07/add-recent-posts-widget-with-thumbnail.html" target="_blank" title="Grab this widget">Recent Posts Widget</a></div><noscript>Your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript></div>
<style type=text/css>
.eggTray {margin:10px 0px;padding:0px;}
.ybr li  {border-bottom:0px #cccccc dotted; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px!important;}
.pipesTitle {padding-top:0px;}
.pipesDescription {display:true;}
.ycdr {background:transparent url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtvwkPC7spXZL57Oz1waFFnrnwFXL3VsnsQUKrApjVYfhQIet0xTtlt9WUIhVaqK0GPyQ4fS_FHpg9p0gacceSB8K6yLOkpyHnCzOvZpoyoFDL2WHwjDVveLJNKUuwL_cg9w5xpfm0u8/s1600/logo.png) 0px 0px no-repeat; padding: 1px 0px 0px 19px; height:14px; margin: 4px 0px 0px 0px;line-height:14px;}
.ycdr, .ycdr a {color:#999999;}
.widget .popular-posts ul {padding-left:0;}
</style>

• Change YOUR-BLOG/SITE-URL with the url address of your site/blog
• Save your widget. And you're done.

Customizations:

• To disable the scroll bar, remove the number 500
• By default, this widget is set to display a maximum of 8 recent posts. To change this number, replace the number 8 with the number of posts desired
• if you want only the posts titles to appear, change true to none and "0" from padding-top:0px with 10
