Check this Recent Post Widget with Thumbnails http://bryandel.net/feed
@Bryandel it is a good widget.. but it uses the full sized images and scales them using css.. I am currently busy with some PHP projects.. Will soon design a widget with smaller thumbnail images so that they load fast..
@Aneesh actually I already made a script that resizes images but I'm worried with my bandwidth.
@bryandel i didn't mean to say that you should store the images on your server.. Blogger comes with smaller thumbnails you can grab them from the feed..
I will try to code it using the new Gadget API and add it to the blogger repository when i finish off my other projects..
If you wanna try just analyse the blogger feeds.. It is more like a Media RSS with thumbnails included..
BTW are you the original author of that script??
@Aneesh I'm not talking about disk space. It's Bandwidth. they're totally different. My thumbnailer script does on-the-fly resizing.
I based the script with feedburner for greater compatibility rather that sticking to a specific blog such blogger or wordpress. And yes, I'm aware of media RSS.
I'm using an open source script and tweaked it because a colleague of mine requested for this feature. I'm just sharing this widget to everyone.
I have find a quick and easy to install and customize Recent Post Widget with thumbnails. You can install it in minute with hassle-free complicated manual code installation.
You may look at this link for more information : http://www.engadgeteer.com/2009/07/recent-posts-widget-with-thumbnails.html

@Tina,
there is something like .sidebar li {
in your template.Just after this line add
list-style:none;
I have 3 side bars, I want to toggle 1st and 3rd sidebar closed and middle sidebar should display full page. How to make it?
I also want my blog from blogspot to display on my website in a very little space in one of the sidebars.. Can I do that? if yes how?
shiva
This is cool. thanks!
@shiva to hide or show elements you will have to use some javascript..
and to make a column to use the full width on a page,you have to use CSS
To Aneesh,
Thank you so much!
Its works now,thank you and thank you!!
Thanks for this widget, I really love it. Is there anyway that the font and font color can be changed? I have tried working on this all day and can't figure it out, and would really appreciate some help on this.
Thanks!
@Crystal,
actually it uses the same font and color as your sidebar!
but you can surely change colors if you want.you will have to add extra CSS style rules for that particular widget

Aneesh,
Is there a way to hide the last post (=current post)? Thanks!
@Bruxo,
it will be difficult to hide the current post,but you can remove the last post(the newst post on your blog.) easily.
To do that add the widget, then edit it and change ?orderby=published to ?orderby=published&start-index=2
Thank you very much for your help Aneesh
Hi, for some reason the posts in my recent posts widget have disappeared. It's just a white box now. Can you help?
Looks great! Is there some way to use the same format for specific posts I'd like to highlight? I've currently got them listed as plain links in the sidebar but now they look pretty shabby compared to this!
I tried the following method for Recent Posts by categoryto list the recent post. which helped to increase my CTR.
Regards,

Hi Anees
Regarding Blogger is there a method to have newer comment on the top and older at the bottom ?
if so let me know . thanks in advance

An excellent widget. Many thanks.
I do notice though that the number of recent posts to display is limited at 25. Can this limitation be overcome in any way?
Rock
Thank you for this widget, I was looking for this for some time.
