A widget is an individual page element such as a picture, a blogroll, or anything else you can add from the Page Elements tab. A widget in blogger is represented by a tag.The actual data for any given widget is stored in the Blogger database and only accessed when the widget needs to be displayed. Some examples of widgets (one for a page header and one for a list) are:
<b:widget id="header" type='HeaderView' locked="yes"/>
<b:widget id="myList" type='ListView' locked="no" title="My Favorite Things"/>
<b:widget id=”BlogArchive1” locked=”false” mobile=”yes” title=”Blog Archive” type=”BlogArchive”/>
A widget may have the following attributes:
- id - (Required) May contain letters and numbers only, and each widget ID in your template should be unique. A widget's ID cannot be changed without deleting the widget and creating a new one.
- type - (Required) Indicates what kind of a widget it is, and should be one of the valid widget types listed below.
- locked - (Optional) Can be 'yes' or 'no,' with 'no' as the default. A locked widget cannot be moved or deleted from the Page Elements tab.
- title - (Optional) A display title for the widget. If none is specified, a default title such as 'List1' will be used.
- pageType - (Optional) Can be 'all,' 'archive,' 'main,' or 'item,' with 'all' as the default. The widget will display only on the designated pages of your blog. (All widgets display on the Page Elements tab, regardless of thier pageType.)
- mobile - (Optional) Can be 'yes', 'no,' or ‘only’ with 'default' as the default. This decides if the widget will be displayed on mobile or not. Only Header, Blog, Profile, PageList, AdSense, Attribution will be displayed on mobile when the mobile attribute is 'default.'
