How to display full post content on Blogger Featured Post gadget.
Featured Post is a blog gadget that highlights a single post. You can only have one of this gadget added to the blog.
By default, this gadget only displays a snippet of the post. If you want to display the full content, for whatever creative idea you have in mind, you would need to modify the widget tag.
The original widget tag uses a hidden includable element, snippetedPosts, to display the post content. So the result is always a snippet.
<b:include name='snippetedPosts'/>To display the full content of the post instead, you just have to replace that with <data:post.body/>, like so:
<b:widget id='FeaturedPost1' locked='false' title='Featured Post' type='FeaturedPost' version='2' visible='true'>
<b:includable id='main' var='this'>
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
<b:if cond='data:postDisplay.showTitle'>
<h1><data:post.title/></h1>
</b:if>
<!-- this will force the gadget to displays full content -->
<data:post.body/>
</b:loop>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
