The recently observed problems with some third party gadgets, previously added by many blog owners to their blogs, leaves these blogs lacking various accessories.
One of the gadgets identified is the "Recent Comments" / "Recent Posts" gadget pair. For many blog owners, this gadget is not impossible to replace.
Blogger provides us with a native accessory, called a "Blog Feed" gadget, which will provide acceptable "Recent Comments" and "Recent Posts" functionality, for many blog owners.
Look at the sidebar of this blog, for "The Real Blogger Status - Comments", and "The Real Blogger Status - Posts". Those are "Recent Comments" and "Recent Posts" gadgets, which are based on the Blogger supplied "Feed" gadget - which is not a third party accessory, and is not subject to future third party peccadilloes.
To make your new gadget, start with the URL of the blog feed desired.
Add a Blogger supplied Feed gadget, using the "Add a gadget" wizard, in the dashboard Layout display.
This is the URL of this blog.
This is the URL of the blog comments feed.
This is the URL of the blog posts feed.
Setting up a "Blog Feed" gadget is simple enough.
Avoid any similarly named gadget not "By Blogger" - distributed from "Add a Gadget", or from a private blog or non Google website.
And, you're done. Wasn't that simple?

I restored the web 12 days ago and got no reply till now. I thought it's due to Chimese New Year no service, so I request again after the festival but still no reply. I try to set up a new blog with my own domain name which I bought in Blogger. I don't care they delete all my contents or not, but taking back my own domain name which already published in press. Below is the screen I took. Pl. help me tack back my own domain.
I'd like to advise you through this problem - but you need to report this in Blogger Help Forums, not here.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad that this helped!
The "Recent Comments" / "Recent Posts" gadgets are third party contributions that are used by the contributor, to attract traffic to websites containing hacking, porn, and / or spam.
Blogger Security removed those gadgets, to make our blogs safer, for our readers.
Fortunately, "Recent Comments" / "Recent Posts" can be replaced, using the "Blog Feed" gadget, with the appropriate blog feed URL specified.
