Yesterday, when I was working on my new Magazine style wordpress to Blogger template conversion (I'll release the template tomorrow)

After many trial n errors, I finally did it!
Features:
Thumbails to Recent Posts

So, let's see how to install this cool widget in your blog..
1. Sign into Blogger dashboard
2. Go to Layout » Add a gadget » html/javascript
