Blogger has rolled out a new gadget; "Featured Post" to enable you easily highlight a special post on your Blogger blog.
Whether you’d like to re-share that popular post from a few years back, spotlight a can’t-miss promotion you’re running, or just revive something quirky from the archives, the Featured Post gadget is a simple way to show off the content that matters most. You can even make it available as an option for Advertisers.

How To Add Featured Post To Blogger Blog

To try it, just head to your Layout tab, add a gadget, and select ‘Featured Post’.

You’ll be able to place the gadget wherever you’d like on your blog and then choose the post you’d like to show.
