How to create Blog Archive Widget Without Date / Month / Year using Feedburner?
If you like to create custom widget for the blogger which shows list of post titles only without date / month / year then you can do this using feed burner.
- Create customized feed using feedburner (Note: if you wish all your post listed in the feed then while creating the feed burner feed give your feed URL as http://BLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/summary?start-index=1&max-results=SOME_BIG_Numebr_Greater_than_no_of_post_in_your_blog . For example for my blog I should use http://technical-tejash.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/summary?start-index=1&max-results=300 )
- If there is an error stating "Your feed filesize is larger than 512K. You need to reduce its size in order for FeedBurner to process it. Tips for controlling feed file size with Blogger can be found in Tech Tips on FeedBurner Forums, our support site." while creating feed then you are not able to show all your posts on your blog, so in this case use smaller number for the value of max_results while creating custom feed. (For example in my case I have more than 250 posts but I have used http://technical-tejash.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/summary?start-index=1&max-results=200)
- Now create feed redirection on blogger blog
- After go to Publicize section for your feed on feed burner
