Meta Widget for Blogger

Wordpress has a Meta widget which can be enabled or disabled in the sidebar. The widget makes it easy for users/ boggers to login, logout, link to Wordpress.org etc.

Blogger does not have such options in it's bundled design and if you want to log in to your own dashboard while viewing any blog pages you can use the "Blogger Navbar".

If you were thinking of using some widgets like the Wordpress's Meta Option, and didn't wanted to use any kind of third party scripts or code, here is a easy way:

First login to your Blogger Dashboard using your user name and password and go to: Layout>>Page Elements

Here click on "Add a Gadget" and select "HTML/JavaScript" scrolling the available gadgets under "Basic" section.

When the "Configure HTML/JavaScript" box appears, just fill the following text inside it:

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

<ul>

<li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/home">Login</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/logout.g">Logout</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/create-blog.g">Create Blog</a></li>

<li><a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount?hl=en">My Account</a></li>

</ul>

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

For the 'Title', you can give it any name you like.So just give it a name and click on “Save” (alternately you can also leave the title part blank, if you want).

Now click on "View Blog", and you will see something like Wordpress Meta Widget there.

Happy Blogging!
