Make an extra ‘add a widget’ in your blog

You may have changed your blogger theme since your previous theme (template) did not have a ‘add a gadget’ or ‘add a page element’ in a place where you wanted it to be.
Blogspot is designed in such a way that even a novice in blogging will find it easy to make a blog and publish a post.
There is certainly a way to add a ‘add a gadget’ page element in a place you want and there is no need to switch to other templates in search of this.
Now to do this login to your blogger admin area first. Then click on ‘Layout’ and then go to ‘edit HTML’ area.
Its better to check the ‘expand widgets template’ just for this test period.
Now in your template editing area search for showaddelement=’no‘. For any searching its better to use ctrl+f key.
Press CTRL+f and enter your search element in the search box which appears. In this case search for showaddelement=’no‘.
The entered characters automatically gets highlighted and hence there might be no need to enter showaddelement=’no’ in whole.
Once you find that, change the ‘no’ factor to yes and save the changes. Look the changes it made by going to your page elements area.
In some cases there may be widget limiting factor. If you find maxwidgets=’1′,change it to maxwidgets=”, which says to include any number of widgets.
There will be many other showaddelement=’no’ instructions in your theme and you can change any number of them to your liking but make sure that your page is not stuffed up with all widgets.
And not to forget, you can always drag and drop your page elements to the place you like in the new blogger. This may not be always possible and in those cases you can use the above mentioned method.
This method can be best used for placing Adsense in such a place where you think can get a higher CTR.
