The Layout section in Blogger (Blogspot) is where you can customize the look and feel of your blog. You can add sections, gadgets (widgets) to your blog, and other settings.


What is Layout in Blogger

In fact, the Layout reflects the structure of your blog, or rather the structure of its Theme (Template). Each template can have a particular structure. 


For example, there are Themes with one, two or even three sidebars (footers) that serve to place gadgets. After creating a gadget in one of the sidebars, you can easily move it to another column.

All Themes have a sidebar and a main column (Post body)

Most important Blogger Gadgets

One of the most important gadgets in the Layout is a gadget called HTML\Javascript. It is with its help that you can add advertisements, videos, and other elements that were written in HTML to your blog. 

However, there are many more useful widgets in the general list of gadgets, for example:

  1. Popular posts - displays the most visited blog posts for a certain period of time.
  2. Labels - displays the categories of the blog.
  3. Recommended post - helps to install the most interesting post in your opinion in the right place.
  4. Contact form - visitors will be able to communicate with you via email.
  5. Pages - having created pages, you can use the gadget to add them as the main menu at the top of the blog or to one of the sidebars.
  6. Archive - will facilitate the interaction between the blog and readers.
