There are many variables in this script that you need to adjust to blend the widget’s look with that of your blog template. Most of them are self explanatory.

1.In the code, look for the line…

http://bdlab.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
and replace the blog address with your own blog address

2.How to change the number of posts

By default, this widget is set to display a maximum of 5 recent posts. To change this number,

var numposts = 5
edit line in the code and replace the number 5 with the number of posts desired:


3.How to change the Number of Characters (Excerpt)


This widget is set to display an excerpt of 100 characters of each post. If you want to change that number, just look for the number 100 in the code and replace it with the number of characters you want to be displayed.

Recommended setting: 50 to 100.

var numchars = 100;

4.How to Show Post Date

If you want to show the post date, look for the line with the word showpostdate in the code. Then change its value from false to true (shown in color red below).

var showpostdate = false;



Happy Blogging! =)










Many thanks to bloggerplugins for making this code and I just tested and modified to work on blogger
