Where are gadgets in dynamic views?
Unfortunately in this moment if you choose blogger dynamic view you can't use gadgets or widgets. When I say gadgets I think on gadgets like popular posts, recent posts, HTML/javascript gadgets, header gadget etc. So dynamic views are very effective, look very nice but if you use dynamic views you lose control over appearance of your blog. For many bloggers this will be unacceptable.
AdSense exists in dynamic views but blogger owner can't control where will ads be showed.
To setup blogger dynamic views go to Design --> Template Designer and chose your favorite dynamic template.
Dynamic views and old blogger side by side
In my case there are two facts:
- I like blogger dynamic views
- I want to keep gadgets
You can see any blogger blog in dynamic view if you type web address in this format: http://[BloggerName].blogspot.com/view/[TypeOfView].
For example to see this blog in sidebar view you should type this address: http://interestingwebs.blogspot.com/view/sidebar
Another example for googleblog.blogspot.com in magazine view should be: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/view/magazine.
For [TypeOfView] use one of blogger dynamic views.
Type of blogger dynamic views
- Classic: A minimalist template. All posts are in one page. Older entries will continuously load as visitor scrolls down

Hello, I find really useful your comments and I also use the dynamic view for my blog with the sidebar choice on the left. However, may I ask you, while the sidebar was scrolling downwords with the use of the mouse, now its fixed. What did go wrong and how can I change it the way it was.
Thanks a lot
John

I do not know what to say. I just try sidebar view on my blog and I can scroll down menu on left side on the screen. To do that you first need to click on sidebar and then you can sroll down sidebar down and up.
I really likes blogger dynamic views. We have no control over adsense ads. But they are high performance adunits..
