hi everyone I'm just a newbie in blogging and I have downloaded a template with slider for my blog, but I don't know how to deal with it, in short I need to know if there's something I should do to make the slider displays the latest 5 posts automatically or should I add every post I write in slider manually? The other thing I wanna know is very similar to the above issue, but here with the 'recent posts' gadget; the demo of the template in recent post gadget has included 5 latest posts, but when I downloaded the template I've got just an empty 'recent posts' gadget even though I already written 10 post, yet the gadget is still empty!!! what should I do ? thank you in advance this my blog http://best-cars2014.blogspot.com/
What slider are you using? Admittedly I am not sure I "get" what you are saying about the recent posts, but maybe this will help. Enter the administrator page elements (Dashboard → Design or Dashboard → Layout in the new Blogger design). Add a new feed widget, with the following URL’s: To show the recent posts: http://BLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default To display the latest comments: http://BLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default
thank you for your help, but unfortunately it did not work; I still have 'recent gadget' title with empty feed. here is the HTML code related to 'recent posts' <div style='height:5px;clear:both;'/> <b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebarright' preferred='yes'> <b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'> <b:includable id='main'> <!-- only display title if it's non-empty --> <b:if cond='data:title != ""'> <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2> </b:if> <div class='widget-content'> <data:content/> </div> <b:include name='quickedit'/> </b:includable> </b:widget> <b:widget id='Feed2' locked='false' title='Blogger Templates' type='Feed'> <b:includable id='main'> <h2><data:title/></h2> <div class='widget-content' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_feedItemListDisplay"'> <span style='filter: alpha(25); opacity: 0.25;'> <a expr:href='data:feedUrl'><data:loadingMsg/></a> </span> </div> <b:include name='quickedit'/> </b:includable> </b:widget> <b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='Theme Support' type='HTML'> <b:includable id='main'> <!-- only display title if it's none-empty --> <b:if cond='data:title != ""'> <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2> </b:if> <div class='widget-content'> <data:content/> </div> HTML:
