Quick Fix: 'Required Field Must Not Be Left Blank' Warning in Blogger Image Widget Title


If you mess around with your blog design a lot, or even if you've just gone to make tweaks in the last couple of months then you'll have probably noticed that you can no longer display an image widget in your sidebar without entering a title first. Typical Blogger, they make everything more difficult than necessary- anyone else feel like tearing their hair out when template/ layout type things go wrong? You can't just enter a space, and while you could shut up the warning notice with a full stop if you're anything like me seeing a big old full stop above each of your image widgets will be enough to drive you crazy. Luckily there's a very easy fix.

The Fix
Type into the title field:
<h2> </h2>

This will allow you to post your image, but wont display a title or an unnecessary gap. I've read that this is a bug with Blogger, but it seems to be an ongoing issue and so I thought I'd share this little trick for everyone who was getting as annoyed with as I was. I hope it was helpful!
