Add a Popular Posts Gallery just above your Blogger posts

Posted by Unknown

The most strong and popular web design trend over last couple of years is a sliding horizontal panels also known as Sliders or Carousels. It's a very effective method to increase the web site usability and engage the user. This widget shows the most popular 10 posts on your blog just above your Blogger posts. You can see the Demo on my blog.

Let's start adding it

Before adding it you should know that this widget is not fully compatible with all templates, so please make a backup before making any changes to your blogger template. Now, follow these steps:

1. If you are using the old Blogger interface:

Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - (make a backup) Expand Widget Template

If you are using the new Blogger interface:

Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - (make a backup) Expand Widget Template

2. Search (CTRL + F) for this piece of code:

]]></b:skin>

3. Just above/before it, add the following code:

#gallery{position:relative;margin:0 35px 20px;width:590px;height:126px;background:#ffffff}
#gallery .belt{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;list-style-type:none}
#gallery .panel{float:left;margin:20px;width:84px;height:86px;background:url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkS5u3J2oTzzIy3O7VjjKBC9Mv1kz6pZWZf-l5pK0QN4oImqPZrqKN2lI7_7HQo8NM3lxuRXrxkSaMlUqYhBBguMqTG_Kiw0rQatUIdxWdmoLQCD23ZmR8P5hDLz500XWVKvXcFQCVtQiU/s1600/bg-slider.png) bottom center no-repeat;overflow:hidden}
#gallery .panel img{float:left;border:1px solid #DDD;margin:5px;width:72px;height:72px;background:#FFF;padding:0px}
#gallery .panel img:hover{filter:alpha(opacity=50);-moz-opacity:0.5;-khtml-opacity:0.5;opacity:0.5}

Note: you can adjust the size of gallery, changing the values in red (590 and 126).

4. Now search for the following piece of code:

</head>

5. Just above/before it, add this code:

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script src='http://fe-blogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/auto-slider.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
stepcarousel.setup({
galleryid: "gallery",

contenttype: ["external"]
})
//]]>
</script>

Next thing to do is to place the widget just above the blogger posts.

6. Search for this code:

<b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='yes'>

...or if you can'find it, search for this one:

<b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='no'>

7. Just below it, add the following code:

<b:widget id='PopularPosts2' locked='false' title='Popular Posts' type='PopularPosts'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<div style='margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:70px;margin-left:-20px;'>
<div id='gallery'>
   <ul class='belt'>
    <b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>

        <div class='item-title'>
         <a expr:href='data:post.href' expr:title='data:post.title' rel='bookmark'><data:post.title/></a>
        </div>
        <div class='item-snippet'>
         <data:post.snippet/>
        </div>
       </b:if>
      <b:else/>
       <a expr:href='data:post.href' expr:title='data:post.title' rel='bookmark'>
        <b:if cond='data:post.thumbnail'>
         <img expr:alt='data:post.title' expr:src='data:post.thumbnail'/>
        <b:else/>
         <img alt='no image' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVxfMtiK_gU4Ej4JmRJCvXbRpmiehULMNjmUcy0KJKlyIuiKek4Zsay_fhPTY4RqLAQf_2v8kA7cSrNWm_yqgQA8EvEAH8l0SdBPIQ8SMd73l6_Ost0LzI6em5qhRgqg_JatS0amoxSrvv/s1600/no-image.PNG'/>
        </b:if>
       </a>
      </b:if>
     </li>
    </b:loop>
   </ul>
</div></div></b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Note: delete the fragments of code in blue if you want this widget to be displayed in posts pages also.

8. Preview and if everything is ok, Save the Template.

Add Google Adsense to Blogger Header (Above the Title)

Posted by Unknown

In the past tutorials ( See: Social Media Buttons beside Adsense ads & Adsense inside Blogger Header ) i've shared several tricks for Adsense ads placement that may help you to increase your adsense earnings. Now, i will show you how to add Google Adsense above your header, for instance just above the title of your Blogger blog. This can be done by adjusting your template to give you the option of adding more than one widget to the header area.

Add a new element to Blogger header

1. If you are using the old Blogger interface:

Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - (make a backup) Expand Widget Template

If you are using the new Blogger interface:

Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - (make a backup) Expand Widget Template

2. Next try to find (CTRL + F) this piece of code:

<div id='header-wrapper'>

...if you can't find that one, search for this one:

<div class='region-inner header-inner'>

3. Immediately after one of these lines, you'll see this code:

<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>

4. Replace the values in red like in this example below:

<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='3' showaddelement='yes'>

5. Save the Template.

Adding the Adsense ad unit above the Blogger header

1. Navigate to Design > Page Elements and view the new option to add a gadget to the header area

2. Click on Add a Gadget link and select the Google Adsense gadget.

Choose the type of ad unit you want. For this example I chose a new linked 728x15 ad unit from the dropdown format menu for an AdSense ad that would sit above the blog title. Configure colors if necessary. Color blending is usually done automatically by Blogger according to the color schema of your template.

3. Click Save

Now View your Blog to see your new Google Adsense unit. If all is going well, your new AdSense ad unit should appear something like in the image below:

This is a very good Adsense placement, i'm sure you're gonna like it

If you have a any questions, please feel free to ask below.

How to add an image next to Blogger Post Title

Posted by Unknown

blogger posts, gadgets for blogger, blogger tutorials

It has often been said that a picture says a thousand words, so in the struggle for the attention of the reader, we can add a picture or an icon to our post title, as I have put in the title of the post in the screenshot above.

Show Image Icon before Blogger Post Title

Step 1:

First thing first you have to do is to prepare an image. After that you'll need a direct link to an image before you proceed further. You can upload it to tinypic.com and copy the URL located in the Direct Link for Layouts box. Also, make sure your image is sized appropriately. You don't want to see a huge image next to your post title.

Step 2: Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed if needed

Step 3. Click anywhere inside the code area to find (using CTRL + F) the following code:

<b:includable id='post' var='post'>

Step 4. After you found it, click on the left arrow next to it to expand the widget's code

Step 5. Then delete it until you reach to <div class='post-header'>:

              <b:includable id='post' var='post'>
<div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'>
    <b:if cond='data:post.firstImageUrl'>
      <meta expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl' itemprop='image_url'/>
    </b:if>
    <meta expr:content='data:blog.blogId' itemprop='blogId'/>
    <meta expr:content='data:post.id' itemprop='postId'/>

    <a expr:name='data:post.id'/>
    <b:if cond='data:post.title'>
      <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>
      <b:if cond='data:post.link'>
        <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
      <b:else/>
        <b:if cond='data:post.url'>
          <b:if cond='data:blog.url != data:post.url'>
            <a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
          <b:else/>
            <data:post.title/>
          </b:if>
        <b:else/>
          <data:post.title/>
        </b:if>
      </b:if>
      </h3>
    </b:if>

The code to be deleted:

Step 6:

Paste the following code in the place of the deleted code in Step 5:

<b:includable id='post' var='post'>
<div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'>
    <b:if cond='data:post.firstImageUrl'>
      <meta expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl' itemprop='image_url'/>
    </b:if>
    <meta expr:content='data:blog.blogId' itemprop='blogId'/>
    <meta expr:content='data:post.id' itemprop='postId'/>

    <a expr:name='data:post.id'/>
    <b:if cond='data:post.title'>
      <table><tr>
        <td class='posttitle'>
           <img src='IMAGE-URL'/></td>
        <td><h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>
      <b:if cond='data:post.link'>
        <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
      <b:else/>
        <b:if cond='data:post.url'>
          <b:if cond='data:blog.url != data:post.url'>
            <a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
          <b:else/>
            <data:post.title/>
          </b:if>
        <b:else/>
          <data:post.title/>
        </b:if>
      </b:if>
      </h3>
        </td>
        </tr></table>

      <style>
        h3.post-title {
          margin: 0px !important;
        }
      </style>

    </b:if>

Step 7:

Replace the IMAGE-URL text in blue color from above with the URL address of your image (the one that you've gotten from Step 1).

Step 8: Save the Template and that's it! Enjoy :)

If you are using the old Blogger interface:

Go to Dashboard - Design - Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.

Replace Older, Newer And Home Blogger links with an image or text

Posted by Unknown

Newer Post, Home and Older Post are links that appear on the bottom of the posts. When a visitor click on one of these links, they will take him to the page with the list of your previous posts.
The number of the posts on these pages will be the same as the number of the posts on your main page.

What we can do:

A. Change the text of Newer, Older, Home links
B. Place a picture beside them (a small icon, arrow, or whatever...)
C. Add an image instead of the links

So let's start customizing them...

1. Log in to your Blogger Dashboard, go to Template > Edit HTML

2. Click anywhere inside the code area and find - using CTRL + F keys - the following code:

    <b:if cond='data:newerPageUrl'>
      <span id='blog-pager-newer-link'>
      <a class='blog-pager-newer-link' expr:href='data:newerPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-newer-link"' expr:title='data:newerPageTitle'><data:newerPageTitle/></a>
      </span>
    </b:if>

    <b:if cond='data:olderPageUrl'>
      <span id='blog-pager-older-link'>
      <a class='blog-pager-older-link' expr:href='data:olderPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-older-link"' expr:title='data:olderPageTitle'><data:olderPageTitle/></a>
      </span>
    </b:if>

    <a class='home-link' expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'><data:homeMsg/></a>

Or find in this code the following fragments which corresponds to each page links

<data:newerPageTitle/> represents Newer Posts link
<data:olderPageTitle/> represents Older Posts link
<data:homeMsg/> represents Home link

Now change these fragments of codes as it follows:

A. Change the text of Newer Posts, Older Posts and Home Links

You need to REPLACE following parts in original code with ANY TEXT you like:

replace <data:newerPageTitle/> with, for example NEXT POST
replace <data:olderPageTitle/> with, for example PREVIOUS POST
replace <data:homeMsg/> (only the first one) with, for example HOMEPAGE

B. Place a picture beside Newer Posts, Older Posts and Home links

Add the below code just at the beginning of each of the colored fragments of codes from step 2.
<img src="URL Address"/>

So it should look like this:

<img src="URL Address"/><data:newerPageTitle/>

Note: Replace URL Address text with the url address of the image you want to appear

C. Replace Older Posts, Newer Posts and Home links with an image/picture

You can place any kind of picture you want All you have to do is use this code for the pic:

<img src="URL ADDRESS"/>

...just replace URL ADDRESS, with the URL of your hosted picture
...and in code, REPLACE the original link code for text with picture code

replace <data:newerPageTitle/> with the pic for newer (next) posts
replace <data:olderPageTitle/> with the pic for older (previous) posts
replace <data:homeMsg/> (only the first one) with the pic for homepage

Screenshot

3. That's it! Preview and Save the Template.

<style type='text/css'>
#related-posts{float:left;width:auto;}
#related-posts a{border-right: 1px dotted #eaeaea;}
