Blogger Multiple Authors Stats widget
Blogger has the mutiple author or co-author facilty enabled. And many of us would like to know which author has contributed vastly to the success of the blog. This widget displays the stats of each author. This widget can sound pretty useless If you are the only author of your blog. But since guest posting is a new found craze in the blogosphere. Some blogs have 5-10 co-authors. So this widget will enable competition between each other so that readers can judge the most active author.
I repeat. This widget can be fun only when you have lot of guest posters/co-authors enabled.
Login to Blogger Dashboard > Layout > Page Elements.
Click on “Add a new Gadget” Select “HTML/Javascript” and paste the code below.
function pipeCallback(obj) {
document.write('<ol>');
var i;
for (i = 0; i < obj.count ; i )
{
var href = "'" obj.value.items[i].link "'";
if(obj.value.items[i].link == "")
var item ="<li>" obj.value.items[i].title "</li>";
else
var item = "<li>" "<a href=" href ">" obj.value.items[i].title "</a> </li>";
document.write(item);
}
document.write('</ol>');
}
</script>

I hope you changed the blog url to your own blog and removedthe blogspot. I tried this hack on http://twittercoffeeclub.blogspot.com/
Or maybe its because you have a self hosted blog is causing problems.

Visit http://twittercoffeeclub.blogspot.com/ i cannot implement this hack in my blog because I dont have guest authors..
http://TwitterCoffeeclub.blogspot.com is my another blgo where guest posting is enabled so you can see the widget in action there.
