Before this article, I was sharing blogger widgets that have only one functionality. Some of them are only for recent posts some with popular posts some with related posts and some with a labelled posts functionality.

Most of you people like the UI design of blogger widgets which I share on this website but mostly if you want different functionalities then the functionality they have.
