If you’re like most bloggers, you want your blog list to be visible on your WordPress site. There are a few ways to do this, but the easiest and most popular is to use a widget. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to add a blog list widget to your WordPress site:
1. Log into your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Click on the “Widgets” link in the left-hand menu.
3. In the “Widgets” section, click on the “Add New” button.
4. In the “Widget Type” drop-down menu, select “List Widget”.
5. In the “Widget Title” field, type a title for your widget that will be shown on the front-end of your blog.
6. In the “Item Name” field, type a name for each item in your list (for example, “Blog Posts”).
7. In the “Select Item Type” field, select which type of data you want to display in your widget (for example, posts or pages).
If you only have posts in your blog, select “Posts” from the drop-down menu.
8. Click on the “Add New Widget” button to create your widget.
9. Copy the code for your widget and paste it into a new HTML file (for example, index.
php). You can also use a plugin to create and manage your widgets (for example, W3 Total Cache). Note: If you’re using a plugin, make sure to add the appropriate lines of code to register and enable the plugin before continuing with step 10!.
10. To activate your new widget, visit Appearance -> Widgets in WordPress and drag and drop your newly created widget onto the WordPress site front-end where you want it to appear (for example, below the post content).
You can also use an administrator interface such as WP Admin to add widgets to entire websites or blogs (see our full guide here).
