How to Display Most Commented Posts in Blogger

One of the best widgets for your Blogger blog is the popular Sidebar Posts Widget. This allows visitors to see which of your posts are currently trending and encourages them to click on them to read them. However, this basic widget is too simple for modern website visitors. Not only do they want to see your popular posts, but they also want to join the discussion happening on your blog. For this you will need Blogger's Top Comments widget.

Having a custom widget on your website is easier than you think. However, in order to have an effective widget, you need a few special things to help you.

Demo:

This is what you get

There are certain aspects of post widget design that generate the most comments you should expect. That's why you will find these special components with this particular widget.

• Ranked by popularity. Posts with the most comments are more likely to read the post and join the conversation. By ranking your posts by popularity, you'll give every visitor a chance to see what it's all about. This allows you to have a map graphic that visitors can easily recognize, but also allows you to keep it straight and consistent if you want a cleaner look.
• Graphic input. Blog posts that contain at least one image will get 100% more traffic than posts with no image at all. For every image you include in your blog post, you are more likely to get clicks. The same goes for your most commented post widget, so be sure to include graphics that stand out in your design.
• Combined images. The internet today revolves around the value you can offer each user. People don't just click on things because they look attractive. They click on them because they promise a level of value that another site like yours can't deliver. By having images that match each other, you will increase the perceived value of your website. This leads to more clicks.
