Display Popular Posts Widget in your Wordpress Blog

If you have created many posts in your blog, you might want to highlight your most popular entries to your readers. The purpose is that hopefully your blog readers will read more of your blog content.

There is a plugin that can help you. It is known as Wordpress Popular Posts.

This plugin allows you to decide the term “popular” either by the most comments, total views or average daily views. You can set it at the setting screen which I will show you later.

Then you need to go to Widget and drag the Popular Posts widget and paste at the sidebar of your choice.

Installation
•    You need to download the plugin from wordpress-popular-posts plugin
•    Unzip the files in your PC
•    Upload the files intoyour blog’s plugin folder.
•    Then you need to go to your blog’s plugin and look for Wordpress Popular Posts.
•    Click on activate.

Configuration
Click on Settings->Wordpress Popular Posts.

The configuration screen appears. You may follow the guide on the screen and configure accordlingly or you may change it to your likings.  Then click on update settings

Widget
Select Appearance->Widgets
Select the sidebar where you want the Popular Posts to be displayed.
As for my blog, it has a sidebar_top( Note: This differs for different wordpress theme)
Drag the Popular Posts widget and place it there.
You are done!

You can see my Popular Posts Widget at my blog’s Right Column

Cheers
