Simple and small widgets for Blogger users.

##Popular Posts Widget

When using external images in a post, the default Popular Posts Widget cannot show the first image as thumbnail.

This widget can fix the problem mentioned above.

This widget works well on the default template, displaying the popular posts with its first image and title. If there's no image, it only shows the title.

1. Go to the Layout page of your blog.
2. In the sidebar-right-1 block, click Add a Gadget.
3. In the Basics category, select HTML/JavaScript.
4. Type Popular Posts in the title field.
5. Copy everything in PopularPostsWidget.html, and paste it into the content field.
6. Press Save and click Save arrangements.
7. Done!
