Display Gadgets on only Home Page, Static Pages, Posts Pages or Index Pages

In this post I will provide a great blogger trick with which you can display the gadgets on your desired address, whether its Blogger Home page or Post pages or Static pages or Index pages or even on any particular post or page.

There can be various reasons for which you may not want to display the gadget on every sub-domain of your blog. Like if you added a LinkWithin widget to your Blog and don't want to display it in Home pages too. Or if you want to display a Welcome Message on the Home Page using HTML/JavaScript Gadget and don't want it to be displayed elsewhere. Or for any other reason then this trick would be of great use to you.

First of all let us learn how to know the Widget ID of the widget that you want to work with.

Note: If you have named your Gadget then you may skip this step. For Some reasons you might have not named your gadget then follow this step.

• From your Blogger Dashboard go to Layout
• Click on Edit option of the gadget.
• The Edit Window of the gadget will pop up. Go to the address bar of this Window.
• You will find an address similar to this:

http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=1539913304115984984&action=editWidget&sectionId=sidebar-right-1&widgetType=HTML&widgetId=HTML9

• So here HTML9 is the Widget ID.

1. Now To Display The Gadget Only On Home Page.

• From your Blogger Dashboard go to Template.
• Click on Edit HTML and check the Expand Widget Templates option above.
• Press Ctrl+F and search your Widget ID (ie HTML9 here) OR search the name of your gadget if your gadget has a name. You will see a section of codes similar to this:
