Now you can make an admin widget for your blog

Hello dear readers welcome back to neev2u.blogspot.com to day I will show how to create Admin Widget.

In my previous post I wrote about how to remove the nav bar header from your Blogger blog. But a minor drawback now will be no direct links to admin controls of your blog. So i found one  solution that is to add an Admin Widget to your sidebar.

As Usual backup your template  first.

Create an new Link Widget in your sidebar
(From the Layout|Page Elements tab Add a Widget to your sidebar. Select the link-widget from the list. Set the title for example to Admin, and add 4 links to the list.)

Dashboard       : http://www.blogger.com/home
Change Settings : http://www.blogger.com/blog-options-basic.g?blogID=####
Change Layout   : http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=####
Edit Posts      : http://www.blogger.com/post.g?blogID=####
New Post        : http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=####

In this links you have to change this ####### to the ID of your Blog. The easiest way to do this is to go to your dashboard, and view the list of your blogs. Hover your mouse over the links (Layout, Settings, etc) and watch the status-bar of your browser. You will see the link there. The easiest way is to right-click each link, copy the hyperlink, and paste it into the link widget.

Save
Save the Widget and display your Blog. If you are viewing your Blog, clicking one of the Admin links will bring you to the appropriate screen. 

Visitors of your Blog will not be able to modify it, because they are not logged in to your blog. If you are not logged in, clicking an admin-link will bring up the Blogger login screen.
