Tech Tip: Add an HTML Box to Sidebar

 

One of the widgets (gadgets) you can add to your sidebar is the HTML/Javascript box. In fact, you can add as many of these boxes as you want. They are very powerful! You can use them to create a box with text and links in your blog sidebar, and you can also use them to add javascript such as a Twitter or Pinterest widget. For this tip, you will add an HTML box to the sidebar where you type a message to share with your blog readers.

 

STEP ONE. Click on the Design link in the upper right-hand corner of your blog and then choose Layout, or go to Blogger.com to access your blog and choose the Layout option.

 

STEP TWO. Click on the Add Gadget in the sidebar, choose the HTML/Javascript option, and then you will see this text editing box. Type a message to your readers in the box; the title is optional. You might do a quick "About Me" message, or perhaps you might share some words of wisdom or a personal motto. It's up to you! 

 

Click Save when you are done, and then you can drag-and-drop to put the sidebar gadgets in the order you prefer. Make sure you click Save Arrangement at the top of the page to save your changes. You can go back and edit the text box at any time using the "edit" link that you see there. 

 

Finishing Up. To finish up, write a blog post where you alert your readers that you have added this new widget to the sidebar. You might inspire other people to add something to their sidebar. Make sure to include the phrase "Tech Tip: Sidebar Box" in your blog post title and also use "Tech Tip" as the label on the post; then you can do the Declaration.
