How to implement above widgets in template:
Widget code can not be used directly at template as per Blogger template guidelines. Widget code must be preceded by a section tag with specific id as like below code -

<b:section class='footerad' id='footerad' showaddelement='yes'>
<b:widget id='HTML7' locked='false' title='' type='HTML' />
</b:section>

If you don't want to place widget code directly at template, use only section tag with specific id and 'showadelement=yes' as below code.

It renders a 'add gadget' link which can be viewed at layout(Layout link) mode of the template. You can add single or multiple widget at layout mode by clicking at 'add gadget' link.

<b:section class='footerad' id='footerad' showaddelement='yes' />
