Displaying the links to related posts along with a thumbnail of the corresponding post will help you increase the page views/user .Users will be tempted to go for the related posts when they are presented attractively with thumbnails.
So you are tempted to add this widget then follow this steps:
- Login in to your Blogger Account.
- From Dashboard Click on Layout and the Click on Edit HTML.
- Then Check the “Expand Widget Templates“.
- Find </head> .
- Then Before </head> Paste the following Code.
<!--Related Posts with thumbnails Scripts and Styles Start--> <!-- remove --><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <style type="text/css"> #related-posts { float:center; text-transform:none; height:100%; min-height:100%; padding-top:5px; padding-left:5px; } #related-posts h2{ font-size: 1.6em; font-weight: bold; color: black; font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0em; padding-top: 0em; } #related-posts a{ color:black; } #related-posts a:hover{ color:black; } #related-posts a:hover { background-color:#d4eaf2; } </style> <script type='text/javascript'> var defaultnoimage="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_u4gySN2ZgqE/SosvnavWq0I/AAAAAAAAArk/yL95WlyTqr0/s400/noimage.png"; var maxresults=5; var splittercolor="#d4eaf2"; var relatedpoststitle="Related Posts"; </script> <script src='http://best2know.googlecode.com/files/related-posts-with-thumbnails-for-blogger.js' type='text/javascript'/> <!-- remove --></b:if> <!--Related Posts with thumbnails Scripts and Styles End-->
- Now Find
<div class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-1′>. - Now immediately below that line add this code.
<!-- Related Posts with Thumbnails Code Start--> <!-- remove --><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <div id='related-posts'> <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'> <b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'> </b:if> <script expr:src='"/feeds/posts/default/-/" + data:label.name + "?alt=json-in-script&callback=related_results_labels_thumbs&max-results=6"' type='text/javascript'/></b:loop> <script type='text/javascript'> removeRelatedDuplicates_thumbs(); printRelatedLabels_thumbs("<data:post.url/>"); </script> </div><div style='clear:both'/> <br/> <a href="http://www.best2know.info/2010/04/you-might-like-this-widget-for-blogger.html" target="_blank"><b>Grab This Widget</b></a> <!-- remove --></b:if> <!-- Related Posts with Thumbnails Code End-->
[Re:FIXED] - You can adjust the maximum number of related posts being displayed by editing this line in the code.
var maxresults=5; - To edit the title of the widget you can change this line of code.var relatedpoststitle=”Related Posts”;
- To change the default thumbnail, you can edit this line of code.
var defaultnoimage=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_u4gySN2ZgqE/SosvnavWq0I/AAAAAAAAArk/yL95WlyTqr0/s400/noimage.png”; - To Change the Colour of the Splitter Line , edit.
var splittercolor=”#d4eaf2″;
To change the other colours and all you will have to modify the CSS
If you fall into troubles implementing this,don’t panic.. :) .just leave me a comment here and i will help you out. If you like to give me any suggestions on how to improve this widget,then it would be really great.
Just remove the two lines starting with <!– remove –> from both step 5 and step 7.
that is lines
<!– remove –><b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == "item"’>
and
<!– remove –></b:if>
After listening to the comments by all of our visitors this code has been updated.
