Make your blog more appealing with cool widgets. The following are some of the many cool widgets for bloggers. However, I recommend you don’t overload your sidebar with tons of widgets. Overloading your sidebar will make your blog less appealing; just a few cool widgets is all you need to create a more appealing blog.
1. Contactify will allow you to give your blog readers a way to contact you without revealing your e-mail address to spambots. Another great benefit is this cool widget for bloggers cuts down on spam!
2. Do you offer a free newsletter? Invite your blog readers to sign up by adding the Newsletter Registration Form to your blog.
3. FeedJournal is a cool widget that allows your blog readers to read your blog in newspaper form. Not only can they read your blog in newspaper form, but they can also save the file on their harddrive for later reading.
4. Publicize your upcoming events and/or appearances with the Upcoming Badge. You can customize the badge to show up to 10 upcoming events and/or appearances.
5. Increase your sales with the vFlyer Listing Widget.
6. Display your most popular blog posts, page views and visitors on your blog with the Visit Widget.
7. Do you communicate with your customers and/or clients through Skype? Add Skype Online Status to your blog’s sidebar .
8. The Alexa Traffic Rank Badge reveals your blog’s Alexa ranking.
9. We’ve all seen Wordpress bloggers display “related posts” at the end of their most recent blog posts, right? Well, now there’s a Related Posts Widget for Blogger blogs as well.
10. Another widget for Blogger blogs is the Top Commenter’s Widget. This widget shows your commenters you appreciate them, and by displaying this widget on your blog, you might start to see more comments on your blog posts.
That concludes my list of 10 cool widgets for bloggers. If you know of any other cool widgets for bloggers, feel free to share them in the comments section below.
