Hello friends. Today I am going to share a widget which many of the readers have requested to add. This widget is inspired by my previous widget.
This slider has a responsive layout and is very attractive. Its fully automated you just have to add the URL of your blog once and the images, titles and links will be updated on their own. This slider crawls and lists the recent posts of the blog. This widget looks somewhat like the one seen on engadget.com. This slider is very attractive and eye-catching too.
A live working demo of this widget can be seen below.
