Wanted: Help with adding gadgets or widgets

Who is in the know? I can add the gadgets offered on blogger.com but would like help with adding Google Gadgets using HTML code eg Visitors World map.

Pick up the html code that you want to embed into your blog. Go to the design page...start a new gadget...pick the option 'html'. Paste the html into that box and away you go

Thanks Sarah, I have already tried this - Design > Add a Gadget link opens up a list of blogger gadgets available, no HTML code in this new pop up window.

Hi Jan,
When I go to Design > Add a Gadget the basic list of gadgets pops up. From top down it goes
Pages
Followers
Search Box
HTML/JavaScript

The last one is the one you want to select.
You can also use the 'Search for Gadgets' field at the top of the 'Add a Gadget' link and type in 'HTML' and the second gadget to show up should be 'HTML/Javascript'.

If none of this works, it may be that your blog theme prevents you from adding this gadget, in which case you can try out a new theme.

Hope this helps!
