document.write(towrite);document.write('</li>');if(displayseparator==true)
if(i!=(numposts-1))
document.write('');}document.write('</ul>');}

</script>
Code Customization:
- Replace highlighted color url with no thumbnail image as per choice or else leave it default
Step Three
Go to ‘Layout’ link tab
Click on ‘Add a Gadget’ link tab and select ‘HTML/Javascript’ widget
Now, copy below code and paste in it
<script type='text/javascript'>var numposts = 3;var showpostthumbnails = true;var displaymore = false;var displayseparator = true;var showcommentnum = false;var showpostdate = false;var showpostsummary = true;var numchars = 100;</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/feeds/posts/default/-/Label Name?published&alt=json-in-script&callback=labelthumbs"></script>
Code Customization:
- Now replace ‘Label Name’ with your choice label to show
- Customization code by altering ‘false’ or ‘true’ vice versa.
var numposts ← Number of posts to display
var showpostthumbnails ← Show/hide thumbnails
var displaymore ← Show or hide the read more link
var displayseparator ← Show/hide separator
var showcommentnum ← Show/hide the number of comments
var showpostdate ← Show/hide the posts dates
var showpostsummary ← Show or not the posts summaries
var numchars ← Number of posts characters (here you have to change the 100 value)
After successful adding code 'Save the widget and Template'
That's it done....Preview your work.
