Sometimes we need to add in our Blog a certain amount of widgets. And some of them can take up too much space. But you can easily save this space using sidebar tabs. Demo

How to add in Blogger Sidebar Tab

1. Go to your Blogger dashboard
2. Open Theme section
3. Now move to Edit HTML
4. Press on your keyboard CTRL+F and write in the search window ]]></b:skin> press Enter and paste before ]]></b:skin> this CSS code:
#sidebar-tab h2{display:none;}
#select-tab{margin:0 auto 10px}
#select-tab,#select-tab li{padding:0;margin:0;list-style:none;overflow:hidden}
#select-tab li{float:left;width:33.3%;text-align:center}
#select-tab a{line-height:32px;display:block;background-color:#404040;color:white;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none}
#select-tab .selected a,#select-tab a:hover{background-color:#64A071}
#sidebar-main .widget1{background-color:#ffffff;width:100%;float:left;padding:5px}
#sidebar-main{overflow:hidden}

5. After this write in the search window id='sidebar press enter and paste before it this HTML:
<div id='sidebar-tab'>
<div id='tab'>
<div class='tab-widget-menu clear'>
<ul id='select-tab'>
<li class='tab1'><a href='#tab1'>Popular Post</a></li>
<li class='tab2'><a href='#tab2'>Comments</a></li>
<li class='tab3'><a href='#tab3'>Archive</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id='sidebar-main'>
<div class='widget1' id='tab1'> 
<b:section class='sidebar' id='tab1-popular-posts' showaddelement='yes'>
</b:section>
</div>
<div class='widget1' id='tab2'>

</b:section>
</div>
<div class='widget1' id='tab3'> 
<b:section class='sidebar' id='tab4-srchive' showaddelement='yes'>
</b:section>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
$(function(){$("#select-tab li:first").addClass("selected");$("#sidebar-main > div").hide();$("#sidebar-main > div:first").show();$("#select-tab a").click(function(){$("#select-tab li").removeClass("selected");$(this).parent().addClass("selected");var a=$(this).attr("href");$("#sidebar-main > div:visible").hide();$(a).fadeToggle(1000);return false})});
//]]>
</script>
</div>

6. Final step find the closing tag </head> and paste before it:
<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js'></script>
7. Save theme and check the result.

Tabs customization

In HTML code you can see 3 tabs Popular post, Comments, and Archive. So, you can change these names into your widget names. Also, you can leave only two tabs, to do it just remove one of them.
