Simple Blogging Trick to Hide a Gadget Title in Blogger

It’s not necessary that all the sidebar widgets on your blog should have names/titles. Some widgets/Gadgets appear professionally better when they are left unnamed or say without titles. But blogger demands widget titles for all except third party HTML/JavaScript widget. Here it’s optional. 

Let us say that you have added Popular Posts widget. When it’s being processed to be added, you cannot SAVE unless you give appropriate details in its title space. Blogger doesn’t accept blank title space in such widget. This means you have only two choices – either to add the widget by giving its title or by not adding the widget. An option where you can add even without making its title visible for readers isn’t there. 

But don’t worry. We have got the trick that will give you a third option. You can have any widget in your sidebar or footer without having titles. This trick also can be used to fool your readers by adding same widget say Popular Posts more than once but with different parameters. Reader will be lured to read your popular posts twice. 

So how you can use this trick in your blog? 

Login to your blog>Click on Layout>Click on Add a Gadget>Choose a Gadget which you wants to add, for illustration let us keep Profile>Add it by clicking on a Plus sign below it. Now you can see blogger intelligently giving us a default title of this widget as About Me. Do you like it? If not you can change it to something like This is Me. And Click on SAVE. Click on View Blog to see how your blog appears with the addition of it. 
    

But your blog appears little disoriented when your Profile Gadget has name/title. Seems it would appear better if you leave it without title. If that is the case with yours too, instead of About Me or This is Me, give <html/> as its title. This will lock the HTML. Click SAVE. And then you can click View Blog to see the changes.

If you love this trick and also want to hide the titles of other gadgets, you can easily have it by replacing the titles of any widget you have given with <html/> and then clicking SAVE. What can simpler than this?
