Are you in blogger, its time to switch to dynamic views


Blogger blog has a responsive design template for a long time. But something stops us moving to the  dynamic views template in blogger blog, there is no support for gadgets in the dynamic views template. Blogger today announced that they now support gadgets in dynamic views. Read the official notice from Blogger blog updates.
Gadgets  in dynamic views template will now appear in a dock that slides in and out as you move your cursor over them, instead of appearing in a panel that consumes valuable real estate on your blog.  Now you can used gadgets like Blog Archive, Followers, Labels, Profile, Subscribe and Link List. If you are using a traditional template, I recommend you to check the Dynamic Views  supported with gadgets. You can also add, remove, and customize the gadgets from the Layouts tab like any other traditional template.
Expanded Gadget for Blogger dynamic view
If you are in blogger, Dynamic view template is the closest option you have for a responsive design.
And here is a quick tip: If you are not satisfied with the dynamic views template to be your default template for your blog. You can still make your  blog visitors to selectively choose the dynamic views by linking it with “www.yourdomain.blogspot.com/view/mosaic“. You can replace mosaic with any other dynamic view, such as,  /view/sidebar. 
 If the visitor visit the main blog they will see the normal traditional template and they will see a dynamic view if the click that link. You can check how it will work here, my blogspot blog have a traditional template and when viewed at this link it will show using the dynamic template.
