- Now save your template
- Go to Layout > Add A Gadget > HTML /Java Script and post the following code
<script type='text/javascript'>var numposts = 3;var showpostthumbnails = true;var displaymore = false;var displayseparator = false;var showcommentnum = false;var showpostdate = false;var showpostsummary = true;var numchars = 80;</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/feeds/posts/default/-/LABEL?orderby=updated&alt=json-in-script&callback=labelthumbs"></script>
You must add the name of the label you want to to the above code.Replace LABEL in red with the label name.
Example - If i wanted to display posts from the gadgets label i would replace LABEL with Widgets.
(http://www.widcraft.blogspot.com/search/label/
Widgets /)
If your label is made up of more than one word it can get confusing as the space between the words will be filled automatically as shown below :
http://www.widcraft.blogspot.com/search/label/Blogger%20Widgets
If you are going to use a label with more than one word make sure to first see how the label appears.
- Save the gadget and you can drag and drop it into the position you want it displayed on your blog.
