Adding widgets everywhere

Go to Dashboard, choose your blog and click on Layout. Click on Page Elements. Now click on Add Page Elements. A new window appears which shows the page elements. Choose the type you want to make and click on it. This opens a new window where the new Page Element is shown ready to accept your data. Do not enter any data at present. Choose Save and the window closes after adding the Page Element to your blog.
Now click on Edit HTML tab under the Layout. Put a checkmark in Expand Widget Templates checkbox. This expands the template HTML widget code. Beta Blogger is arranged in Sections called Header, Sidebar, Main and Footer. Each section can contain one or more Page Elements/widgets. The code for each section is enclosed in tags similar to:

<b:section class="'header'" id="'header'" maxwidgets="'1'" showaddelement="'no'">

Above code is for the Header section. If you want to add a page element to this section, make the changes as; maxwidgets='2' and showaddelement='yes'. Save the Template.
