If you configure your Blogger blog to show mobile template on mobile devices, the widgets listed below are the ones that are displayed by default:
- Header
- Blog
- Profile
- PageList
- AdSense
- Attribution
If you want any other Blogger widget to display on the mobile view of your Blogger blog, you will have to activate a “custom” mobile template instead of using one of the default Blogger mobile templates.
In addition to that, you will have to add mobile=’yes’ attribute to the
The “mobile” attribute lets you control which of the widgets on your Blogger blog will be available in mobile view. It can be ‘default‘, ‘yes‘, ‘no‘, or ‘only‘.
Now, let’s assume you have used the HTML/Javascript gadget to add an advert to your Blogger blog and you want it to display on the mobile view of your blog. Just follow me through the steps below:
IMPORTANT: First ensure you have enabled Blogger mobile template and have switched to “Custom” as explained here.
==> Now, you need to get the id of the widget as highlighted below:
As seen above, the id of the widget is HTML31.
You can read: how to get id of any Blogger widget if you don’t know how to go about it.
==> Next, is to go to “Template” > “Edit HTML“
==> Click on “Jump To Widget” and click on the id of the widget you want to show on the mobile view of your blog. This will take you directly to the
eg
==> Click inside the tag and type mobile=’yes’
Your new code should now like like this:
<b:widget id=’HTML31′ locked=’false’ mobile=’yes’ title=” type=’HTML’>….</b:widget>
==> Click “Save Template“
That’s all.
You can now view the mobile view of your blog by adding ?m=1 to your blog’s URL eg www.ogbongeblog.com?m=1 and you should see the widget been displayed.
Let me know if this works for you.

Very simple and straight forward. Thanks Jide.
You're welcome Vera.
AT FIRST IT LOOK CONFUSING TILL I READ THE PREVIOUS POST "show mobile template on mobile devices" THANKS JIDE.
I've updated the post to highlight it as been very important. You have to activate "custom" mobile template before this will work. Have fun bro!
Bros J, i have done it and it working but the issue is that the ads banner is big not showing like a mobile ads shld or am i missing something?
Generate the ad code for a mobile banner and use it
So how will the mobile ad code banner appear on the system?
Hello Jide. Thank you very much for the info. I have tried it and its working but am having a little challenge. The ads banner is big, its not showing like a mobile ads.
What do i do?
gr8 one oga jide, pls can you write a post on how to redesign a blog using some quick tricks.
Ok, I will try and work on that. You can use the Blogger Template designer to redesign a blog easily
Sir, how do I show share buttons on mobile view?
I will write a tutorial on that soon.
hello sir after choosing the custom template my blog is showing a dark background on the mobile version. check it http://www.nairamind.com please what should i do?
Yes, simply because the outer background of the desktop view is black..
Jide am kinda having some problems and need your help. The default Profile widget that shows on blogger mobile suddenly stopped showing and even after editing my template and adding ''mobile='yes''' to the code, it's still same ish.
Today i added a new footer widget and tried showing it on mobile, but it also didn't show up.
Is there a way to force these gadgets to forcefully show up?
You must change to custom mobile template before the mobile=’yes’ can work. If you've done that and still not working, Revert your post template to default via EDIT HTML.
Theres too much information on your blog!!! I'm overwhelmed! LOL. Well done and thank you
Thanks Jide…its working it first gave me tough time though
