    Add a daily KJV verse to your Blogger sidebar

    Blogger has supported HTML gadgets since the beginning, which makes it one of the fastest places to install the widget. It takes about thirty seconds in the Layout screen.

    What it looks like

    Live preview of the daily verse in the paper theme. Light and dark themes are available in the builder.

    Blogger specifics worth knowing

    • To place the verse inside a post instead, switch the post editor from Compose to HTML view before pasting.
    • Blogger sidebars are often narrow — the widget is fluid, so leave width at 100%.
    • Older Blogger templates may need the iframe wrapped in a div with overflow:hidden.

    Why this widget

    No plugin, no account

    One line of HTML. Nothing to install, nothing to keep updated, no API key.

    No ads or trackers

    The frame sets no cookies and loads no third-party scripts onto your visitors.

    Public-domain KJV

    Every verse is the King James Version, free to quote and republish with no licence.

    Blogger widget questions

    Will the gadget slow down my blog?

    No. The iframe loads lazily and is a single lightweight HTML document with no third-party trackers or ad scripts.

    Can I show a specific verse instead of a daily one?

    Yes. Use the builder to pin a reference such as John 3:16, then copy that version of the code.

    Does it work on custom domains?

    Yes, on both blogspot.com subdomains and custom domains mapped to Blogger.
