Click-n-Go Widget Installer

Most of my visitors like high-value blogging tools, but don't like to mess around with hacking, HTML, CSS and all that tech stuff. Well, visitors, rejoice! Because now you can install my Recent Posts widget and my Recent Comments widget without any hacking. Click one of the buttons, enter your blog name and the widget-settings, and add it to your blog. That's all folks! Spread the word.

Hello hans - and thank you.
It worked easily and really quick.

I´m wondering if I can format the tipography, mainly reduce the paragraph space, because the tiltles look really far apart from each other

thank you

Hans said...

@Jokester: thanks, you can now also enjoy my Click-n-Go Recent Comments Widget.

@Itch: I will improve the widget further by adding classes to it, so that you can format them yourself.

Hi Hans, congratulations for your blog. I have implemented several of your amazing hacks and I think it´s quite cool. As you can see it's a mix of "underwater" template andd your Beautiful Beta CSS.
However, I made some mistake when i was translating it to my language (portuguese). The trouble may be very easy, but I can't find where I've made such changes, as "Older Post" to "Postagens mas antigas", in the Home (Principal)page. The error is in the word "mas", that is actually "mais".
Could you help me, please? Thanks in advance.

I´ve installed the Pannasmontata calendar. Awesome!!! And i´ll gonna install another ones. Thanks a lot! You´re a genius!!!!

Hans said...

@bosco: open your template, edit HTML, and click Expand Widget Template. Then search the template for the text you want to replace.

Hans said...

@claudia: thanks

Hans,

You are really providing some useful tools for us Beta Blogger users. I especially appreciate your Click-n-Go Widgets. I just installed your recent posts and recent comments widgets, and they add a lot to my blog. You've got a great blog--I check in every day. Thanks!

Dear Hans,
I'm working on a 'Click and Go Widget Installer' for integrating Text Link Ads with Blogger Beta. It is based on Feed Widget. The variable number of items in the feed begs for looping. The documentation is too cryptic and confusing for me. Any help will be much appreciated.

The present manual process is bit tedious:
Text Link Ads in Blogger Beta.
Thus I thought, a 'Click and Go' will make it easy for a larger group of Bloggers.

Hans said...

@labsji: if you tell me what exactly you don't understand I can give you some advise.

Shoshana said...

I especially like the idiot-proof part of this widget.

Thank you guys! I like the recent comments widget because on the rare ocassion that I do, it's nice to read about it.

Stephanie said...

Thanks SO much for this Recent Comments installer.

It is GREAT.

I have three blogs, two of them are private.

I have noticed that the widget does not work on the private blogs.

When I removed the private option, I could see the Recent Comments.

But when I returned the blog to private, nothing posted in the recent comments.

Is there any way to post the Recent Comments and keep the blog private at the same time???

Thanks so much!

Hello!

I tried the above buttons, but it lead me to "http://home.planet.nl/~hansoosting/downloads/recentpostswidget.html" where some unknown languages and links are displayed. Can you help me?

Hello!

When I clicked into those buttons (Try Click-n-Go Widget Recent Post), I was led to a page with some unknown language!. Just wondering where can I get the widget or code.

Regards

Dilip Acharya

Hans said...

@T.Dada and Dilip: thanks for bringing this up. A few months ago my ISP changed the url's. I did miss this one when repairing all my broken links.
It works now.

Dilip Acharya said...

Hans!,

Now your links are working but after installation, somehow the widget (Recent Post)is not working in one of my blog.

I have installed that widget in http://nepalilaghukatha.blogspot.com/
but nothing is visible and it seems it is not working.

Any clue?

Thanks!

Hans said...

@Dilip: I am sorry to say I discovered that my Recent Posts Widget Installer also contained a broken link. I have repaired it now. Please remove the widget from your Blog, then reinstall it again. Please check your blogs feed settings too, full post feeds should be enabled.

Dilip Acharya said...

Than You!

Thanks Hans!

It's working now and I have installed it in both of my blogs.

Dilip Acharya said...

Well one more question, is there any way to cross 25 posts limit (in my blog it is only showing the recent 25 posts)

Thanks!
