| How to add Popular Post widget with star rating on Blogger template’s Sidebar? |
Rating system is not supported in Blogger platform. But we can display rating by using manual system. However in real rating system readers will rate a product or widget by giving stars. Actually this work best in WordPress platform and people can rate by voting on specific products and services. But many Blogger platform users have regret that Blogger doesn’t support this awesome rating system. But we can design widget by star rating in Blogger platform also but in real it doesn’t take any vote of readers.
In this post I am going to share a star rating popular post widget which will show your Popular post widget with star rating. From my best knowledge first release this widget By Arlina. But her widget has one major limitation that star rating won’t able to show on more than 5 posts. So I have developed this widget and brought some changes. Though Blogger allow to display 10 posts on Popular post widget so this widget I have designed for 10 posts. As well as you can display yellow and Blue star rating in your Blog. I hope you would love this widget.
