The more link will appear at the bottom of the widget. In this case, it defaults to show all blogs, but you can set the URL to any specific page. A pager will allow visitors to click an arrow to the next set of blog items. In this case, 3 blog items are shown per screen.

Choose Vocabulary Terms to Filter by:

You can select vocabulary terms to filter by. For example, you include only blog tagged with blue or green AND vocab-blog-aaa or vocab-blog-bbb. Terms within a vocabulary are used as "or" operator.  Terms in different vocabularies are used as "and" operator.

Choose Which Sites to Display Content From

You have the ability to include posts from subsites. In this case "testpage8" is the parent site and is checked by default. Checking the box for the subsites will include posts from those sites. Note: taxonomy term filtering is not currently available for subsite content.

Choose to "Make Embeddable" and Save

Clicking "Make Embeddable" will allow other site administrator to get a code snippet to embed this widget content on other sites.
