How to Customize Blogger Comments By Adding a Background Color and Border

The comments are an essential part of a blog because in them is reflected the readers' opinions regarding a post or our blog, so it is important to spend a little of our time to make this part looking more presentable, accessible and neat.

To set in order our comments, it is necessary to make each comment easy to identify, therefore to know from where it begins and to where it ends, otherwise it becomes a jumble of letters of which the reader can run away. Here are some ways to make some order by separating each comment.

- Add a Separator To Blogger Comments
- Add a Divider Below Comments in Blogger
- Fully Customize Your Blogger Comments By Changing The Background Color and Border

The first method is the easiest, and is about how to put a border below our comments, this is to separate each blog comment in a simple but effective way.

How to Add a Separator/Border To Blogger Comments

Step 1. To add a simple separator go to Template > Edit HTML and click on the small arrow on the left of <b:skin>...</b:skin>

Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and search using CTRL + F keys, for the following piece of code:

]]></b:skin>

Step 3. Paste the following style just above it:

- If we are using threaded comments (with the reply option):

.comment-block {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
}

.comments .continue {
  border-top: 0px solid $(widget.alternate.text.color);
}

- If we are using previous commenting system (with no reply option)

#comments-block .comment-footer {
border-bottom:1px solid #000000;
}

Note: To change the border's color, replace the bolded color value and to change its thickness, increase/decrease the 1 value.

Step 4. Save the Template.

Instead of a simple border, we can also add a divider/image between our comments.

How to Add a Divider (Image) Between Each Comment in Blogger

Step 1. Go to Template > Edit HTML and search (CTRL + F) for the following piece of code:

]]></b:skin>

Screenshot:

Step 2. Paste the following just above it:

- If we are using threaded comments (with the reply option):

.comment-block {
background-image:url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl82MD9SMJGmv_w6nwnGgdsdWkQmLQPoIztfqh7prxZnjL6zdr8qJpWuVE1pYdgxL5-kDvk_t9RaCMCHSKBBuKTZD6ufBiLNcKrwLGeJgb4gGn0vmknGKa_Pth9D169Wm5K5Zxlmf0180_/s1600/74.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center bottom;
padding-bottom:30px;
margin-top: -10px;
}

.comments .continue {
border-top: 0px solid $(widget.alternate.text.color);
}

- If we are using previous commenting system (with no reply function)

#comments-block .comment-footer {
background-image:url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl82MD9SMJGmv_w6nwnGgdsdWkQmLQPoIztfqh7prxZnjL6zdr8qJpWuVE1pYdgxL5-kDvk_t9RaCMCHSKBBuKTZD6ufBiLNcKrwLGeJgb4gGn0vmknGKa_Pth9D169Wm5K5Zxlmf0180_/s1600/74.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center bottom;
height: 50px;
}

Note: The URL that is in blue represents the image that you can change as you like, just remember that at the height must set the height of an image with 30px more, for instance, if the image's height is 50px then the value will be 80px. This is for making sure that the image won't overlap the date of comments. (for threaded comments, increase/decrease the padding 30 value)

Step 3. Save the Template.

But you can still have more styles for each comment, for example adding a background color and a border.

How to Add A Border and A Background Color To Blogger Comments

Step 1. Go to Template > Edit HTML and search for the following piece of code:

]]></b:skin>

Step 2. Paste the following just above it:

- If we are using threaded comments (with the reply option):

.comment-block {
background:#F9F9F9; /* Background Color */
border: 1px solid #f1f1f1; /* Border style */
margin-bottom:20px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}

.comments .comment-thread.inline-thread {
background-color: #FAFAFA; /* Background color behind the replies */
border-left: 4px dotted #E6E6E6; /* Border on the left side of replies */
}

.comment-content {
padding:2px 10px 10px 10px;
color:#444444; /* Font Color in Comments */
}

.datetime a {
font-style:italic;
font-size:9px;
margin-left: 2px;
}

.comments .comments-content .user a{
color:#1982D1; /* Author's name color */
font-size: 12px; /* Author's name size */
padding-left: 10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}

.comments .comment .comment-actions a,.comments .comment .continue a{
display:inline-block;
margin:0 0 10px 10px;
padding:0 15px;
color:#B4B4B7;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
background:#F8F8FB;
border:1px solid #C2C2C5;
border-radius:4px;
height:20px;
line-height:20px;
font-weight:normal;
cursor:pointer;
}

.comments .continue {
border-top: 0px solid $(widget.alternate.text.color);
}

.comments .comments-content .icon.blog-author {
background-image: none;
margin-left: -10px;
}

.comments .avatar-image-container{
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
width: 40px;
max-height: 40px;
border: 1px solid #F2F2F2;
padding: 1px;
}

.comments .avatar-image-container img{
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
max-width: 40px;
height: 40px;
}

Step 3. Save the Template.

- If we are using previous commenting system (with no reply function):

Step 1. Search for this line in your template:

<b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'>

Step 2. Then, add the following code just below of it:

<div class='comments-ct'>

Step 3. Look a little further down and you'll see the </b:loop> code and just above it, add this:

</div>

Step 4. Now find this:

]]></b:skin>

Step 5. And just above of it, add this CSS code:

.comments-ct{
background:#F9F9F9; /* Background Color */
border: 1px solid #f1f1f1; /* Bprder Style */
margin-bottom:20px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}

.comment-body {
color:#444444; /* Font Color in Comments */
padding:10px;
}

.comments-ct a {
padding-left: 5px; /* Link color */
color: #4A9BD8;
}

.comment-timestamp a {
font-style:italic;
font-size:9px;
padding-right:10px;
padding-left:10px;
}

(The rounded edges will not work in Internet Explorer with CSS)

In either case, you can change the background color, border, etc.. in parts with annotations in green.

Step 6. Save the Template.

How to add go to top and go to bottom buttons Using jQuery in Blogger

The Up and Down buttons can be used to navigate to the top and bottom of the page content, especially when on the main page there are many articles or when an article has too many comments. These buttons have a fadeIn and fadeOut effect, this means that they will fade slightly when we are scrolling to the top or bottom of the page and additionally, have the function of going up/down the blog.

Demo

You can see a live demo on my blog, the buttons are located on the right side.

How to Add a Vintage Style to Images In Blogger using CSS

To get that vintage Instagram effect for your pictures you don't have to use a program, now you can use CSS and get a similar result! We will apply a shadow inside the image, add a border, we will put a color in it, and on top of our image, we will add another semitransparent image with a grunge style that will give a vintage touch.

You can see the example in this picture below, moving the cursor changes to normal but keeps the edge.

Obviously there will be images that will fit better these effects than others, but regardless of that we do, there should be made a few observations:

1. It is made with CSS styles so as some of you might already know, it will not recognize browsers, specifically Internet Explorer, so using IE browser does not show any effect.
2. Hovering around the image will change with a transition effect, but only in Firefox.
3. The images are not centered, you will have to align to left (default), or right.

Having clarified the above, let's start adding the CSS code to our template.

Adding a Vintage Effect to Blogger Images

Step 1. Go to Template > Edit HTML

Step 2. Select the "Expand widget templates" box

 Step 3. Search for the following piece of code:

]]></b:skin>

Step 4. Just above it, add the following CSS code:

/* Vintage Images
----------------------------------------------- */
.vintage img {
padding:0;
float:left;
}
.vintage {
border:10px solid #000;
position: relative;
float: left; /* Change to right if you want the images to be aligned to the right */
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.vintage:before {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background-color: rgba(255,102,0, 0.6); /* sepia */
background-image:url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9vngvC3qtAqXo3O9jabGImwJh7ydLbcJhrqXmecC2ZxeuEjJkO6xW2bbohEEoJEDqFM3t4Vu6uchoSg83Mmb49u_wgtUg9xMhOKqHMmRKRzywRmM5wbH9X0-YPy_rFw1wc9CNZKylzPA/s0/grunge.png);
background-size: cover;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 50px #000, inset 0 0 50px #000, inset 0 0 50px #000;
-moz-transition: all 1s;
-webkit-transition: all 1s;
-o-transition: all 1s;
transition: all .1s;
}
.vintage:hover:before {
background: none;
box-shadow:none;
-moz-transition: all 1s;
-webkit-transition: all 1s;
-o-transition: all 1s;
transition: all .1s;
}

Note: In the first code, you see in bold the line that corresponds to the color of the image, you can change it to any other color, these are some examples of traditional vintage:

background-color: rgba(0,0,255, 0.5); /* blue */
background-color: rgba(0,255,0, 0.5); /* green */
background-color: rgba(0,255,255, 0.5); /* cyan */
background-color: rgba(255,0,0, 0.5); /* red */
background-color: rgba(255,0,240, 0.5); /* violet */

If you want the image to not change to its original state on mouse hover, then remove the last code:

.vintage:hover:before {
background: none;
box-shadow:none;
-moz-transition: all 1s;
-webkit-transition: all 1s;
-o-transition: all 1s;
transition: all .1s;
}

Step 5. After you've made your changes, click on Save Template

Step 6. Finally, add this code inside your posts each time you want to apply the vintage effect to an image (switch to HTML tab if you want to use this code inside your post)

<div class="vintage">
<img border="0" src="URL of the image" /></div>
<div style="clear: both;"/>

And add the URL of the image to where is the text in blue.

And that's it, with this little experiment you can have your vintage-style images using CSS only. Enjoy!

How to Add a Widget Below First Post in Blogger

This tutorial will show you how to make a gadget/widget to appear just below the first Blogger post.

First, you must understand that the usual gadgets provided by Blogger can be added only in the areas where the design section permits. Still, we can show any element, for example, an AdSense ad, an image, a flash file, a video etc.

So what we will do in this tutorial is to display an item under the first post, this means that it will not be visible below the other entries. This is great when you use any automatic summary, although it is not a requirement.

Well, this is easy to do and we will use the isFirstPost conditional tag for that element to show it under the first entry.

Adding An Element Below First Post

Step 1. First, go to your Blogger Template and click on the Edit HTML button:

Step 2. Check the "Expand Widget Templates" box:

Step 3. And find this line:

<b:include data='post' name='post'/> 

Step 4. Just below it add this code:

<b:if cond='data:post.isFirstPost'>
<div align="center" style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px;">
Here goes the code of the element you want to show
</div>
</b:if>

Note:

- The bolded text indicates to where you should paste the code of the element (eg. AdSense ad, a widget). 

- In red are the top margins (margin-top) and the bottom margins (margin-bottom), this is in case you want the element to move towards or away from the entries, also you can add any style like a background color, border etc..

Step 5. Preview to make sure everything is okay, then Save your Template.

How to Customize Blogger's Lightbox

Now, for those of you who have chosen to use the Blogger's Lightbox View to display the images, you have the option to change its style in a whole different way. We'll be able to change the black color of the screen, the border or shadow of the images and the color of the thumbnails background as well. We can customize the Blogger Lightbox entirely on your taste.

Demo

Take a look at the screenshots below:

Before:

After:

After adding our CSS code, the entire look of the modal window will be changed: the background color, the bar showing the thumbnails, the edge of images (border), the text that appears in it, transparency and the close button.

All we have to do is to overwrite the default styles and change them for ours.

How to Change the Blogger's Lightbox Background and Style

Step 1. Go to Template, click on the Edit HTML button (also click on the Proceed button if needed)

Step 2. Search using CTRL + F the following code snippet:

]]></b:skin>

Step 3. Copy and paste the following code just above it:

/* Blogger Lightbox
----------------------------------------------- */

/* Background Color */
.CSS_LIGHTBOX_BG_MASK {
background-color: #ffffff !important;
background-image: url(image-url-address) !important;
opacity: 0.8 !important;
filter: alpha(opacity=90) !important;
}

/* Images Border */
.CSS_LIGHTBOX_SCALED_IMAGE_IMG {
outline: 0px solid #fff !important;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #000000;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #000000;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #000000;
}

/* Close Button */
.CSS_LIGHTBOX_BTN_CLOSE {
background: url(image-url-address) no-repeat !important;
width: 24px !important;
height: 24px !important;
}

/* Thumbnails Bar Color */
.CSS_LIGHTBOX_FILMSTRIP {
background-color: #eaeaea !important;
}

/* Text Color */
.CSS_LIGHTBOX_ATTRIBUTION_INFO, .CSS_LIGHTBOX_ATTRIBUTION_LINK {
color: #000 !important;
}

/* Index Info (number of images) */
.CSS_LIGHTBOX_INDEX_INFO {
color: #555555 !important;
}

Note:

- The text in green explains to which part the code belongs (it doesn't need to be modified)

For example, the / * Background Color * / part can change the background color or even the LightBox background color to an image. If you want to do that, then change this line by replacing the red text with the url address of your image:

background-image: url(image-url-address) !important;

- The opacity is just below, if you add a lower value ( 0.8 ) the background will become more transparent.

- To change the icon for close button, you have to replace the text in red from /* Close Button */ with the url of your image. (you can host image at tinypic or upload it into a blogger draft and then Copy the Link Location)

- To change the text color of images, replace the #555555 value from /* Index Info (number of images) */

- The border of the images can be changed as much as we want: you can change the borders' roundedness, shadow, etc... but remember this is CSS3 so older versions of Internet Explorer will not see it.

Step 4. Click on Save Template and you're done!
