Step 1. From your Blogger Dashboard, go to Template and click on Edit HTML.

Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and then press CTRL + F to open the Blogger search box.

Step 3. Type or paste this tag inside the search box and hit enter to find it: "</head>"

Note:

- To change the number of posts that are being displayed, modify the value (4).

- To change the number of characters to be shown in posts summary, modify the value (75).

Step 4: Now that we added the script, we will need to add the style. Paste the following code above the same "</head>" tag.

<style>
.relatedsumposts {
    float: left;
    padding: 0px 10px;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-align: center;
  /* width and height of the related posts area */
    width: 120px;
    height: 200px;
    border-right: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
    display: inline-block;
}

.relatedsumposts:hover {
    background-color: #F7F7F7;
}

.relatedsumposts img:hover {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -moz-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(360deg);
}

.relatedsumposts a {
  /* link properties */
    color: #linkcolor;
    display: inline;
    font-size: 10px;
    line-height: 1;
}

.relatedsumposts img {
  /* thumbnail properties */
    margin-top: 2px;
    height: 82px;
    padding: 5px;
    width: 82px;
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    -webkit-border-radius: 100px;
    -moz-border-radius: 100px;
    border-radius: 100px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.8s;
    -moz-transition-duration: 0.8s;
    -o-transition-duration: 0.8s;
    transition-duration: 0.8s;
    -webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform;
    -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
    -o-transition-property: -o-transform;
    transition-property: transform;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.relatedsumposts h6 {
  /* title properties */
    display: table-cell;
    height: 3em;
    margin: 5px 0 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-bottom: 2px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 130px;
}

.relatedsumposts p {
  /* summary properties */
    border-top: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
    color: #summarycolor;
    font-size: 10px;
    height: 4em;
    line-height: 1;
    margin: 5px 0 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 5px 0 15px 0;
    text-align: left;
}

#relatedpostssum {
    background: #F3F3F3;
    height: 200px; /* related posts container */
    padding: 5px;
    width: 100%;
}

.relatedpoststitle {
    font-size: 19px;
    font-weight: bold;
    border-top: 3px solid #FB8227;
    color: #777;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    width: 190px;
    float: left;
    margin: 0px -200px 0px 20px;
    transform: rotate(90deg);
    transform-origin: left top 0;
    -ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
    -ms-transform-origin:left top 0;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
    -webkit-transform-origin:left top 0; 
   font-family: Gill Sans / Gill Sans MT, sans-serif;
}
</style>

Note:

- Modify the values in red to adjust the width (120) and height (210) of the widget area.

- Replace #linkcolor with the hex value of your color to change the color of post titles.

- If you want to change the size of thumbnails, modify the values marked in violet (82).

- To determine the border roundness, modify the values in orange (100).

- To change the color of the post snippet, change #summarycolor with color hex value.

- In case you add more that 5 related posts, change the container height 200px to 400px.

If you have a dark background, you may want to add this style instead:

<style>
.relatedsumposts {
    float: left;
    padding: 0px 10px;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-align: center;
  /* width and height of the related posts area */
    width: 120px;
    height: 200px;
    border-right: 1px solid #0A0A0A;
    display: inline-block;
}

.relatedsumposts:hover {
    background-color: #0A0A0A;
}

.relatedsumposts img:hover {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -moz-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(360deg);
}

.relatedsumposts a {

    color: #linkcolor;
    display: inline;
    font-size: 10px;
    line-height: 1;
}

.relatedsumposts img {
  /* thumbnail properties */
    margin-top: 2px;
    height: 82px;
    padding: 5px;
    width: 82px;

    -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
    -o-transition-property: -o-transform;
    transition-property: transform;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.relatedsumposts h6 {

    margin: 5px 0 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-bottom: 2px;

    border-top: 1px solid #0A0A0A;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #0A0A0A;
    color: #summarycolor;
    font-size: 10px;
    height: 4em;
    line-height: 1;
    margin: 5px 0 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 5px 0 15px 0;
    text-align: left;
}

#relatedpostssum {
    background: #121212;
    height: 200px; /* related posts container */
    padding: 5px;
    width: 100%;
}

.relatedpoststitle {
    font-size: 19px;
    font-weight: bold;
    border-top: 3px solid #FB8227;
    color: #ccc;
    display: inline-block;

    -webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
    -webkit-transform-origin:left top 0;
   font-family: Gill Sans / Gill Sans MT, sans-serif;
}
</style>

Step 5. Next, search (CTRL + F) for the following code snippet: "<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>". And after you found it, add this script just below it:

Step 6: Finally, find this fragment of code: "</b:includable><b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'>". Just ABOVE the </b:includable> tag, add the following code:

Click on the Save Template button and that's it ! Enjoy !
