Where are gadgets in dynamic views?
Unfortunately in this moment if you choose blogger dynamic view you can't use gadgets or widgets. When I say gadgets I think on gadgets like popular posts, recent posts, HTML/javascript gadgets, header gadget etc. So dynamic views are very effective, look very nice but if you use dynamic views you lose control over appearance of your blog. For many bloggers this will be unacceptable.
AdSense exists in dynamic views but blogger owner can't control where will ads be showed.
To setup blogger dynamic views go to Design --> Template Designer and chose your favorite dynamic template.
