Putting HTML on your blog

• Option one:  In a widget/gadget.
  These can be placed in any location the Design > Page Elements screen gives you access to - usually go into the header, footer or sidebar.
• Option two:  Inside a specific Post (or Page)
  This means that the effect of the code will be shown every time the post is viewed
• Option three:  In the blog's layout template
  This gives you most control over where and how the item appears, but is also the hardest.\\\

Option 1: Putting third party code in a gadget

 

• Copy the code from the third-party site.

• In Blogger, choose Layout > Add a Gadget > HTML-Javascript Note:  Use the gadget created by Blogger which is in the Basic list.  Currently you need to see to scroll down the list of gadget to see it. 
  Don't use the search tool to find it, because currently (2/11/10), it returns a 3rd party gadget that doesn't work.)

• Paste the code into the Contents field.

• Enter a title, if you want the gadget to have one

• Press Save.  

• Drag-and-drop the new gadget to where you want it to appear.

• Save the layout
