If you display something from a code on blogspot and it is not from the post section i.e. not a post that is online from pressing the publish link, is that considered publishing? it is from the sidebar code section.
If it is publicly visible, it is published. You're taking the publish part a little too literally. Or maybe not literallly enough. When any part of your site is visible through a URL, it is considered published to the web. Therefore, anything visible in a web browser is considered published.
