• On line 1, 4, and 9, you should change the Blogger ID (mine shown as 17710845953662035683) to your ID. If you want to use other profile such as Facebook, you should change the whole text inside the quotes sign (" ").
• On line 1, change the picture inside tag "img" to any picture you want to represent you.
• On line 5, fill your name.
• On line 9, fill your description.

So there you go, you have a new personalised profile widget on your Blogger.
