Bloganalyzer

As the name specifies, a recent posts widget displays the most up-to-date content of your blog. Unlike popular posts widget that displays most discussed blog posts or related posts widget that showcases posts fall into similar category, it displays a collection of recently published blog articles. Benefit of having such widget is it helps blog readers to find the latest post with minimum efforts. As well as it makes blog visitors to browse further from the landing page without leaving your blog, i.e. reduces blog bounce rate. Additionally one doesn't have to send an email every-time a post has been created, i.e. reduces dependency on email marketing. Unfortunately, blogger team does not provide such feature as pre-build widget; so one has to add this via some third party coding.
