New Features

  1. Display related posts with/without thumbnails.
  2. Since, images added to Blogger posts are uploaded to PicasaWeb, you can use many custom thumbnail sizes.
  3. You can use one of 2 CSS styles to help you get started quickly.
  4. Display posts with transition effects or as a fixed list.
  5. Many transition options are available like opacity, width, height, font-size.
  6. Optional timeout technique is used to finish widget loading when one or more feed requests were not completed successfully, instead of waiting indefinitely.
  7. Thumbnails loading is delayed until widget has finished aggregating related posts to avoid loading extra images
  8. You can customize it by placing optional parameters -like custom animation- in a HTML comment or HTML5 data attribute.
  9. You can disable widget if current page is not a post page.
  10. Widget was rewritten as a jQuery plugin, use a typical jQuery call to load it or auto-load any number of div elements with "related-posts-widget" class in the same page.

Auto generated meta tags description for blogger using python

Auto Generate Meta tags and Description for Blogger or Blogspot script written in python Sebastian Noack has written a very good script to auto-generate meta tags and description for Blogger or Blogspot.Previously we have seen how to add meta tags for each individual post and this script does that manually.

This generates the meta tags based on the feed of your blog and updates the html template at Blogger. It generates meta tags for the following pages.

The hompage
  • with the blog description 
  • with the most used tags in the blog as keywords 
The page of each post
  • with the first paragraph of the post as description 
  • with the tags of the post as keywords 

Unfortunately,it’s written in python language which is a bit complicated for Windows user(like me)who are not familiar with Linux operating system.

What we expect
He definitely have done a great job in creating this hack. it's however quite a challenge for ordinary blogger to understand.Blogspot user needs only to copy/paste the script into the Blogger template without any need to run a complicated python script.

See Screenshot from no-ack blog post -
Code to switch the meta tags, generated and inserted into the template by the script

Change color and size of default tag cloud in blogger

It is known that we can use a gadget option "Labels" to Blogger, to show our tags in a cloud . It so happens that yesterday I received two emails on the same subject: how to change the design of the cloud once added to the blog, so we'll see in this post how.
blogger tag cloud
Once you add a gadget in the sidebar, a tag cloud will have a default layout that fits, more or less to the rest of the sidebar.
To change the size, text color, separation, etc.we should add a few lines of CSS in the template, as always will before ]]></ b: skin>


.cloud-label-widget-content {
text-align:center;
font-weight: bold;
}
.cloud-label-widget-content span {
padding: 0 0 0 5px;
}
.label-size-1 a {color: #8b8989; font-size: 10px;}
.label-size-2 a {color: #000000; font-size: 12px;}
.label-size-3 a {color: #4682b4; font-size: 14px;}
.label-size-4 a {color: #dccdc; font-size: 15px;}
.label-size-5 a {color: #6495ed; font-size: 18px;}
Modifications :
.cloud-label-widget-content { 
Controls the design of the container of the cloud, the tags in my example would be centered and bold.

.cloud-label-widget-content span {
Controls the distance between the labels, in my example 5 pixels apart.

.label-size

Here we control the text color and size of each of the labels, according to the five options that the gadget provides.
In this case we do, is to include the CSS to add between <style type='text/css'> and </ style> and place it right after the label template <body>.

    Use special symbols or characters on your blog-Unicode Symbols

    When you use Blogger, we see that our staff has a first line that defines the character encoding on our site:
    <? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
    and also automatically adds this
    http-equiv="content-type" <meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

    Adding animated GIFs to blogger


    One of the main annoying limitations of blogger is that it does not allow to post animated gifs to the post.The good news is that the Picasa Web Albums , Google service where you stored the images posted on Blogger supports animated images in GIF format.

    The problem is that the HTML image, generated automatically by default post editor of Blogger, displays a thumbnail and not the original file hosted on Picasa.Because of that the animation does not work.

    This problem can be solved by editing the HTML manually by Replacing the URL of the image displayed in the post with the URL of the link created automatically by Blogger.

    In the example below are highlighted respectively: The URL of the original image (green) and the URL of the thumbnail generated by the Blogger post editor (in red):

    <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
    <a href=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s1600/YouTubeLoad.gif " imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s320/YouTubeLoad.gif " width="320" /></a></div>

     Just replace the address highlighted in red with the address highlighted in green and the animated image will appear on your blog.

    <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
    <a href=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s1600/YouTubeLoad.gif " imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s1600/YouTubeLoad.gif " width="320" /></a></div>

    Now this code(with both green url ) will difinately work.
    I have been working hard to write the best posts on my blog but some how i am not getting necessary comments. Pls do comment to uplift boost me up.
