Cara Membuat Recent Posts Keren di Sidebar Blog 1

CARA memasang, menampilkan, atau membuat widget Recent Posts, Latest Posts, Posting Terbaru, Tulisan Terkini, atau Artikel Terbaru keren plus Thumbnail Image (Gambar) di sidebar blog sangat mudah dan banyak pilihan tampilan/desain. Salah satunya dari The Blogger Guide berikut ini.

Ini penampakannya:
Recent Posts Keren di Sidebar Blog
Disebut keren karena Recent Posts di Sidebar Blog ini "bersih". Ukuran thumbnail postnya pas, demikian juga judul posting dan kutipannya.

Cara Membuat Recent Posts Keren di Sidebar Blog

1.  Klik "Layout" > "Add a Gadget" > pilih "HTML Javascript"
2.  Tulis nama widgetnya: Tulisan TerbaruRecent Posts, dan semacamnya. Bebas lah...!
3. Copy + Paste kode berikut ini di dalam "Content"

<style type='text/css'>
img.recent_thumb {width: 90px;height: 70px;float: left;
margin-right: 10px;}.recent_posts_with_thumbs {float: left;width: 100%;min-height: 70px;margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;padding: 0;font-size:12px;}
ul.recent_posts_with_thumbs li {padding-bottom:5px;padding-top:5px;min-height:65px;}.recent_posts_with_thumbs a {text-decoration:none;} .recent_posts_with_thumbs strong {font-size:10px;}</style><script style='text/javascript' src='https://googledrive.com/host/0BzPgmXeCwsMRcmlNOHhtaDNNMjA'></script><script style='text/javascript'>
var numposts = 5;
var showpostthumbnails = true;
var displaymore = false;
var displayseparator = false;
var showcommentnum = false;
var showpostdate = false;
var showpostsummary = true;
var numchars = 50;</script>
<script src='/feeds/posts/default?orderby=published&alt=json-in-script&callback=showrecentpostswiththumbs'></script>
<hr/>

Catatan:
1. Angka 5 adalah jumlah tulisan. Bisa diubah menjadi lebih kecil atau besar.
2. Kode biru adalah kode gambar. Jika tidak ingin ada gambar, judul doang, ubah "true" menjadi "false"
3. Angka 50 adalah jumlah karakter, bisa ditambah atau dikurangi.

KODE WIDGET RECENT POST LAINNYA
Sama dengan kode di atas, hanya saja kode JavaScript-nya yang tadinya disimpan di Google Drive "di-ekstrak" biar lebih fast loading:

<style type='text/css'>
img.recent_thumb {width: 90px;height: 70px;float: left;margin-right: 10px;}.recent_posts_with_thumbs {float: left;width: 100%;min-height: 70px;margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;padding: 0;font-size:12px;}
ul.recent_posts_with_thumbs li {padding-bottom:5px;padding-top:5px;min-height:65px;} .recent_posts_with_thumbs a {text-decoration:none;} .recent_posts_with_thumbs strong {font-size:10px;}</style>

Jika kode di atas "not works" alias gagal, coba gunakan kode lain yang sudah dimodif ini --seperti yang saya pasang di sidebar blog ini:

Catatan:
Jika ingin menampilkan tanggal posting dan jumlah komentar, hapus kode warna merah (display:none).
