One of the weaknesses of Google Blogger is no easy widget in the templates to display your latest 10 posts .You can place the archiving widget in your sidebar but the problem is options are limited and once chosen often can show to many or to few posts.There are a number of widgets available out there and I will go through just a few.1 My Favorite just put your own feed through Google Reader make

One of the things I have noticed over the past few months is that the professional bloggers ( those who make a living from blogging ) not all sectors is this possible but some are.They have specific things they do which the ordinary blogger does not.1.
