Recent Post Widget Customization
- Change Obhiabablog.blogspot.com to your homepage URL.
- You can also customize the number of posts to be shown perpage by simply change the " var numfeed = 5;" to any preferred number.
- The last thing to change is the number of characters to be shown as the title and summary. Here you can change the value " var charac = 40;".
Rounding Up
Blogger is a home of customizations, and if you have any idea of what you doing, then you can create amazing widgets for yourself.
