Almost all of the recent posts widget is based on the JavaScript codes. It may effects on the loading time of the blog. But now, you don't have to worry about that! I'll show you how to add fast loading recent post widget on your blog.

You may have the recent post widget provided by blogger that you can add it using your feed URL. But, that was pretty slow. In fact, FeedBurner recent post widget is 100% working. You can see the done on this blog as well (On the right sidebar).

Actually, this widget is derived from FeedBurner which is very systematical and easy to install. Lets do that! Just follow the following steps to add feedburner recent post widget on your blog:
