Widget/Gadget resource for blogspot

[LelaLuxe]

Does anyone know of a site that would provide different widgets for blogspot/blogger, that are current and updated. I went to some sites where the widgets were no longer allowed on blogspot.


Thanks!

Try this: google gadgets

Watch the download speed of your blog, though. The more widgets, the slower your site will be.

Thank you peter.

do you know of any widget that will improve the current way a reader leaves a comment on blogger? I use the template minima. There isn't anything that says "leave a comment." The reader has to click the "0 comments" in order to know that they can leave a comment.

Thanks

Yeah, I would like to know this as well...

There are none I have found that change the way to leave a comment. There are some widgets available that start a script once you click on the "0 comments"-field, and other widgets that show you the previous comments.

On most blogplatforms, other than Blogger, one have to click on the "0 comments"-like field below the blogpost, but I agree it is rather weird, and does not seem user friendly.

It would be easier to change the HTML of the template rather than to include a widget, I think.

e.g.:

<a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'>Leave a comment (<data:top.commentLabel/>)</a> 

That should show you "Leave a comment (0)".

Please please backup your template before you make any changes.

Hope this helps.
