How to Display Total Published Posts Counts in Blogger

You might be interested in displaying the total number of posts you have published on your blog? You might want to let your readers know that how much worth reading articles or posts your blog has produced for them?  Recently, one of our followers tweet us asking about a way to display total number of post published on his site. However, Blogger do not allow you to display the Total Published Post Count by default, but happily we have developed a plugin that accurately displays the total published post count in blogger. Today in this article, we will show you how to display total published posts counts in Blogger.

The very first thing you must do is to login into your Blogger account. Once you are successfully logged in from Blogger dashboard go to Your Blog ›› Layout ›› Add a Gadget ›› Add HTML/JavaScript ›› and paste the following piece of JavaScript coding in the HTML Text Box.

<script style="text/javascript">

function numposts(json) {
document.write('<div id="totalposts">');
document.write('<div id="titlep">MyBloggerLab was launched on<br/> January 5, 2012.</div>');
document.write('<div id="descriptionp">Quality Blogger Tutorials and articles<br/> and counting!</div>');
