Working with Widgets
Explore the different types of widgets and how to customize them.
Widgets are the building blocks of your blog's content and functionality. Blogger provides many built-in widget types, and you can create custom functionality with the HTML/JavaScript widget.
Common Widget Types
- Blog: The most important widget. It displays your posts.
- Header: Displays your blog title and description.
- HTML/JavaScript: A blank slate to add any custom code, like social media feeds or ad banners.
- Label: Automatically generates a list of all your labels (categories).
- Pages: Creates a menu from your static pages.
- Profile: Displays your author profile.
- AdSense: For displaying Google Ads.
Customizing Widget Content
The content within each widget's `<b:includable>` can be heavily customized. For example, in the `Blog1` widget, you can completely change the HTML structure of a post, move the title, restyle the metadata, and more.
