Popular Posts is useful to display most viewed by the posts by the blog visitors. There are many popular posts design available over the net. But Google's default popular posts widget is not so attractive. For this reason many blog developer designing and developing this popular widget to make it more attractive. I have already shared many customized popular posts widget. But today I am going to share something unique and spicy which will best fit in Black color blogger template. This popular posts widget is boxed style with hover effect. In addition I have added Popular post's number at the right side of the widget. When you mouse over on it then it will rotate slightly. Hope you would like this widget.
