Information in the Sidebar

It is personal taste and needs that decide what kind of information you would like to put in the sidebar rather than in the regular blogposts. Remember that new blogposts will always be put at the top of the page, so that older posts will gradually disappear down the page. Information in the sidebar, however, will always stay where you put it, so it is easier for visitors to your blog to access this information quickly and easily.

I normally have useful - and frequently used - links in the sidebar. It may also be good to have a blogroll with links to other similar blogs. Personally, I also like to see how many visitors I have had to my page and where they come from, so I normally also add a flag counter. If you would like to add your own flag counter, press here. And then choose ,Get your flag counter'.

Here's how to add a gadget:





Click on 'Add a Gadget' in the layout area and then scroll the list. There are loads of different sidebar-gadgets to choose from.These are just some of them: Slideshow, video, poll, searchbar, html coded items, statistics, followers, images etc. etc.

Have fun - and be creative!
