Google is constantly improving it blogging platform so as to make blog easy and help bloggers to make more money from their sites. One good feature that is recently added and which will go a long way in helping bloggers is the FEATURED POST gadget.

The featured post gadget can serve you in a lot of ways; it can be used to call attentions to a sponsor post, revive an old post that is relevant to a present situation and to promote products and services from your advertisers.

HOW TO ADD THE FEATURED POST GADGET

Just like every BlogSpot gadget, you can always add them by heading to your menu LAYOUT TAB ->  ADD GADGET -> FEATURED POST

This will give the Featured Post Settings Page. You can only select one post as you featured post at the moment but you can determine if BlogSpot should display the post title and image.

You are free to let the post appear on any part of your blog home page.

You are free to change the featured post at any time. If you use it for a sponsored post, you can take it off after some time and put up another post of interest.

HOW TO DISPLAY FEATURED POST IN MOBILE VIEW

More people are accessing website over their mobile devices and you might love to target them with your Featured Post too. To do this, kindly follow the steps below:

Activate a "custom" mobile template instead of using one of the default Blogger mobile templates.

You will have to add mobile=’yes’ attribute to the <b:widget> tag of the widget, right inside your blog's html.

The "mobile" attribute lets you control which of the widgets on your Blogger blog will be available in mobile view. It can be 'default', 'yes', 'no', or 'only'.

Now, let's assume you have used the HTML/Javascript gadget to add an advert to your Blogger blog and you want it to display on the mobile view of your blog. Just follow me through the steps below:

==> Now, you need to get the id of the widget

==> Next, is to go to "Template" > "Edit HTML"

==> Click on "Jump To Widget" and click on the id of the widget you want to show on the mobile view of your blog. This will take you directly to the <b:widget> tag of the widget.

eg 

<b:widget id='HTML31' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'>....</b:widget>

==> Click inside the tag and type mobile='yes'

Your new code should now like like this:

<b:widget id='HTML31' locked='false'  mobile='yes'  title='' type='HTML'>....</b:widget> 

==> Click "Save Template"
