OK this little trick is perfect for those who want extra room above/below your header or  both. It can also be used to add a space above your posts as well.

This is helpful for those using Google AdSense or any other type of advertising where you need extra space to place an ad.


OK from your blogger dashboard click on design, this takes you to your template editor. Click on edit HTML and check the box to expand the template. Once that is done I suggest hitting ctrl F this will bring up a search box where you can type in the word(s) you are looking for. This is so much easier then searching for the codes manually as your eyes will cross after a while!


First you need to search for Showadelement and change it from Showadelement='no' to Showadelement='yes' . If there is a Maxwidgets='1' in front of Shadowelement change it to Maxwidgets='2' or more, or if you want and unlimited amount change to Maxwidgets="


Now you are no longer limited to the amount of gadget space in your template.
