The footer widgets are the links, newsletter and labels widgets above the Instagram feed.
Links (Info)
- Go to your Blogger dashboard > Layout
- Scroll down to the "Footer 1" widget area > open the "info" (Link List) widget
- To add a link, click on "ADD A NEW ITEM"
- Add the title to the Site name field; add the link to the Site URL field
You can add as many as you want, but it would look prettier and more symetrical if they're the same amount as the labels on the right side.
If you're going to add links to pages on your blog (like About, Contact), you have to create them first. If you haven't done so already, go to your Blogger dashboard > Pages > click on "+ New Page" > give it a title and publish it. To get the link, click on the little eye icon that appears on the right side when you hover over the page title in Pages.
Newsletter (keep up with briar rose)
Go to your Blogger dashboard > Layout > scroll down to the "Footer 2" widget area > open the "keep up with briar rose" (HTML/JavaScript) widget.

Labels (browse)
Go to your Blogger dashboard > Layout > scroll down to the "Footer 3" widget area > open the "browse" (Labels) widget. To display specific labels, check "Selected Labels" > uncheck the labels you don't want to display.
Keep in mind that labels will only appear in the widget if they have been used in at least one published post.
