You might have seen recent post widget hanging on the sidebar of several blogs but most often this widgets have a JavaScript Code in it that badly increases the load time of your page. Today we will learn how to add a Recent posts widget offered by Feedburner to your blogs which is tidy, attractive, unique and most importantly fast loading.
Let me tell you that Feedburner also uses JavaScript but it’s really smart when it comes to page Load time, because the JavaScript is not directly linked to your blog, 50% of the load time is shared by FeedBurner.
Feedburner Recent Posts Widget
Feedburner as you all know is the best web service for submitting your blog feed. Once you sign up with them they will provide you with several widgets like a Rotating Headlines Banner, Subscription Email form as you can see on my sidebar, a feed counter and most importantly a Recent Post widget like the one on my sidebar,
These are steps you may follow,
1. Sign up for a Feedburner Account , which I hope you already have.
2. Log in your account and click on the Publicize button as shown below,
3. Then Click on BuzzBoost on the sidebar at your left.
4. On the page that opens , you will see a small form,
Fill the form with relevant information. Leave all Boxes unchecked. Keep the number of items (Links) as low as possible. You can choose 8 links to be displayed but 6 would be better. Choose Links to be opened in Same Window
5. Now copy the code they provide you as shown below,
6. Log in your blogger Account and then go to Layout > Page Elements
7. Select add a gadget and the choose HTML/JavaScript
8. Now Paste the code into the widget and give it a title “ Recent Posts”
9. Done!

HI MoHD,
Great site I have been using blogspot to advertise and showcase my fly reels. I am not a teck. guy. If you could please take a look at my site and give any feedback on how I could improve It would be great.
I have been getting slow load times with my customer page.
Thanks

I visited your website. You must do two things to really increase your readership and page loadtime.
1) The Image that you are using as a header save it in png format. This will increase your page load time.
2) Change your background to white and text to black. That are standard colors that are psychologically appealing for readers. One will read your product details only when you provide them with a friendly interface. The current one is eye-irritating because most of the text isn't clearly visible.
As a web developer I shared what I was taught. The second step is the most important one for your product success, pay it the most attention.

* I meant to say in step 1. That it will decrease your page load time.

Thanks again and happy holiday

W/salam brother,
Nice to meet you. For traffic the only applicable way is to sign up for linkreferral.com and entrecard.com. But the most important thing is unique content and a self hosted optimized blog URL that may contain your main keyword like mine i.e mybloggertricks.com
Nice to meet you :>
Thanks a lot and I consider your opinion
بارك الله فيك ...مشكوووووور
thanks for the tutorial !!
Thanks so much for this post. I've been looking for this ability, and this is the closest I've come to what I need. The one thing I'm still looking for is the ability to match the headline style to the headline style on the page where this will be posted (http://www.christianprayersdaily.com) Do you know how I would do that? The text needs to be black, and to match the blog's headline default font and size.
