Add A Stylish Scrolling Sidebar Widget In Blogger

Best Blogger Tips

Add A Stylish Scrolling Sidebar Widget In Blogger

 

 

Last night, when I was browsing for information about making blogger blogs look more stylish and professional, I found a beautiful widget that will scroll along the page as and when you scroll up or down. What attracted me, is the gliding movement of the widget to display the important links for your blog. You may use this widget to display some of the best posts in your blog or some important links. Look at the red box in the picture below. If you are still confused, please have a look at the demo in my test blog by clicking here -  
stylish-scrolling-sidebar 

I am pretty sure everyone would love to add this widget in their blog. There are lots of customizations with this widget. For example, you may ask the advertisers to place their ads in this widget or display your social networking links. The only disadvantage is that, it will take a little bit of time to load since it works on a JavaScript. Any way, let us get to our work by installing this stylish widget in our blogger blogs.

1. Go to "Design->Edit HTML. Make a backup of your template before modifying the HTML by clicking on the "Download full template" link at the top of the page.
2. Search for the following line in your template. Use "CTRL+F" to fasten your search.


<body>


3. Download the text document - Stylish Scrolling Widget For Blogger Blogs.
4. Now, open the text document, copy the entire code and paste it just below the line you searched in step 2.
5. Change the code that says "Your Link 1, Your Link 2 and so on" with the links you wish to display in your blog. You may even change the text "USEFUL LINKS" with some other name, which gets displayed in the widget on hitting the "CLICK HERE" tab.
(Note: For any other customization with this widget, please feel free to leave your comments and I will help you customize them as per your request.)
6. Save your template and view your blog. You will find the widget installed successfully.

I made this post as simple as possible. I hope you enjoyed this post. As I said earlier, feel free to leave your comments here. You may even add the codes using the "HTML/Javascript" option in the "Design->Add Page elements" page. So, just give this widget a try!!

List Only Post Titles On Blogger Labels Pages

Best Blogger Tips
In this post i will show you a really Great trick that helps make your Blog much easier to Navigate for your visitors.This tip will help keep visitors to your blog On your Blog.I actually found it hard to give this post a title that would explain what this tip does and how it works, i will give you some examples below to explain.However hard it may be to explain its very easy to add to your Blog.

Screenshot



Why change?

You may have 50 or more posts with the same label.If i did not make the change when someone clicks that label they would go to a page showing 50 Full Posts Your guess is as good as mine as to how long that page would take to load but you can be sure the visitor wont be waiting around to see.Its also better for the visitor to see the the results in a menu format as they will see a menu of what you have and that will bring them back.

How its done.

1.Click 'Layout'->'Edit html' for your blog.
(Tick 'Expand Widget Templates' box)

2.Find the following piece of code in your blogs template :
(Click'CTRL & F' For a search bar to find the code)


<b:include data='post' name='post'/>

3.Now Replace the code you found above with the code below :
 

<!--Labels in menu From:www.spiceupyourblog.com--><b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl !=data:blog.url'><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'><a expr:href='data:post.url'><li/><data:post.title/></a><br/><br/><b:else/><b:include data='post' name='post'/></b:if><b:else/><b:include data='post' name='post'/></b:if><!--Labels in menu end-->

You have now changed how your label results are listed but also how your archive is listed and if you have a search bar on your blog results will be listed like this also.

Once you have changed the code click save and your done go test it out.

Adding floating social media sharing buttons

Best Blogger Tips
As promised to some of my readers, here’s a tutorial on how to add a Mashable-like floating bar of social media buttons to a Blogger blog (or a WordPress blog or just about any website). I made it into a widget, so you don’t have to go into your template HTML to install (or remove) them. Just drop the whole code into a HTML/Javascript gadget.
I have included Facebook Share, Retweet, StumbleUpon, Google Buzz, Digg This and Google +1 (plus one) buttons in the bar. Each of them comes with a live counter. The corners of Facebook Share button and counter are rounded to blend with the rest of the buttons (doesn’t work in Internet Explorer though). You can add more social bookmarking or sharing buttons later if you wish.


I. Adding the buttons

  • Adding to Blogger
    1. Go to Design > Page Elements.
    2. Click Add A Gadget.
    3. In Add A Gadget window, select HTML/Javascript .
    4. Copy the code below and paste it inside the content box.
    5. Save the gadget.
    6. Drag the gadget and reposition it under Blog Posts gadget.
    7. Click Save button (top right hand corner).
  • Adding to WordPress
    1. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Available Widgets.
    2. Drag Text widget into a sidebar.
    3. Paste in the code.
    4. Save. 

    <!-- floating share bar Start bloggersentral.com-->
    <style type="text/css">
    #pageshare {position:fixed; bottom:15%; margin-left:-71px; float:left; border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;background-color:#fff;padding:0 0 2px 0;z-index:10;}
    #pageshare .sbutton {float:left;clear:both;margin:5px 5px 0 5px;}
    .fb_share_count_top {width:48px !important;}
    .fb_share_count_top, .fb_share_count_inner {-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;}
    .FBConnectButton_Small, .FBConnectButton_RTL_Small {width:49px !important; -moz-border-radius:3px;/*bs-fsmsb*/-webkit-border-radius:3px;}
    .FBConnectButton_Small .FBConnectButton_Text {padding:2px 2px 3px !important;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;font-size:8px;}
    </style>
    <div id='pageshare' title="Get this from BloggerSentral.com">
    <div class='sbutton' id='fb'>
    <a name="fb_share" type="box_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </div>
    <div class='sbutton' id='rt'>
    <script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type='text/javascript'></script>
    </div>
    <div class='sbutton' id='su'>
    <script src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5"></script>
    </div>
    <div class='sbutton' id='digg' style='margin-left:3px;width:48px'>
    <script src='http://widgets.digg.com/buttons.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
    <a class="DiggThisButton DiggMedium"></a>
    </div>
    <div class='sbutton' id='gplusone'>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
    <g:plusone size="tall"></g:plusone>
    </div>
    <div style="clear: both;font-size: 9px;text-align:center;">Get <a href="http://www.bloggersentral.com/">widget</a></div><!-- Do not remove this link -->
    </div>
    <!-- floating share bar End -->


    II. Customizing

  • Vertical alignment
    Change the value of bottom in code line 3. The code positions the button relative to the bottom of your browser window. To fix the distance even when window is resized, specify the value in px (pixels) instead of %.
  • Horizontal alignment
    Change the value of margin-left in code line 3. Negative value pushes the button to the left of the main blog column, positive value pushes it to the right.
    To position the button relative to the left or right edge of browser window, replace the margin-left with left (as in left:10px;) or right (as in right:10px;) respectively.
  • Replacing and removing buttons
    You can replace existing buttons with your own. Each button is represented by this code:
    view sourceprint?

    <div class='sbutton'>
    BUTTON CODE
    </div>

    To replace the button, simply replace the button code with the new code.
    To remove the button, delete the whole div. Update (for Blogger): If somehow your Google +1 button doesn’t appear despite other buttons appear successfully, try this workaround:
    1. Go to Design > Edit HTML and find this line:
      <body expr:class='&quot;loading&quot; + data:blog.mobileClass'>
      or
      <body>
    2. Copy the code in step I.5 and paste it right below the line.
    3. Replace the margin-left:-71px; in code line 3 with left:10px;.
    4. Preview before saving.


    Enjoy!

Create a Floating Feedback and Back-To-Top Button For Your Blogs

Best Blogger Tips
Asking your visitors to leave you suggestions or feedbacks can be pretty easy only if you provide them with an easy access to your feedback page. Readers are often lazy and getting them to leave a feedback is often tough. However you can let them comment willingly if you add a floating feedback button to your blog, that floats as a reader scrolls down or up. This floating button can be made more user friendly and eye-catching if you add a roll over effect to it. Hover your mouse over my feedback button at the bottom-left corner of this page and observe how the button magnifies when you hover your cursor over it. Liked it? Lets now learn the TNT of adding a Feedback Button to your blogs, along with a Floating Back-To-Top Button, which I will discuss later.
For a feedback button you will need two images, one small (30 by 145 pixels) and one large (35 by 170 pixels) You can also use my feedback button if you wish,


Small Image : small-feedback-button                               Large Image :  large-feedback-button
You will then need to upload these images to an image hosting web service like Photobucket or other services like Google sites and sigmirror
Get URLs for both these images and then follow the steps below

  • Sign in your blogger account
  • Go To Layout > Page Elements  

 Click on add a Gadget

Click on HTML/JavaScript





  • Now Copy paste the code below into the HTML/JavaScript widget,
<!--TNT-by-STC-FEEDBACK-IMAGE-STARTS-->
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:5px;left:0px;" href="URL Of Feedback Page" title="Your Feedback is always welcomed!"><img onmouseover="this.src='URL of your Larger Feedback button'" src="URL Of Your Smaller Feedback button" onmouseout="this.src='URL Of Your Smaller Feedback button'"/></a>
<!--TNT-by-STC-FEEDBACK-IMAGE-STOPS-->
  save your widget and view your blog with a floating Feedback button at the bottom-left corner of your homepage.


Add a Floating Back–To-Top button to your blog
If your blog’s homepage is really long or if you write lengthy posts then you must add a Back-To-Top button to your blog, by clicking which, users blog will be taken straight to the top (Header) of your blog. You can see my floating back-to-top button at the bottom-right corner of this page.
To add this button to your blog you will again need two identical images, one small and one large. May be you would like some of these buttons,
 back to top -large back-to-top-small-1                  hodge_podge-hodge_podge_icons-hodge_podge-left_arrow.ico-48x48  hodge_podge-hodge_podge_icons-hodge_podge-left_arrow.ico-32x32                 Up1Blue Up1Blue
Now lets learn on how to plant the TNT of adding a floating back-to-top button to your blog.
Follow the same steps as you did for adding the floating Feedback Button. Just paste the code below In your HTML/JavaScript widget,

<!--BACK-TO-TOP-STARTS-->
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:5px;right:5px;" href="#" title="Back to Top"><img onmouseover="this.src='URL Of Your Larger Button Image'" src="URL Of Your Smaller Button Image" onmouseout="this.src='URL Of Your Smaller Button Image'"/></a>
<!--BACK-TO-TOP-STOPS-->

Note:- Remember to replace the required detail with specific URLs of your Back-to-top buttons
Just save your widget and view your blog with a floating Back-To-Top button at the bottom-right corner of your homepage.

<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Replace safdarhussain1 with your twitter user name
    4. Save your widget and you are done!

Add Twitter Follow Button Below Post titles

 

 

If you wish to add the button below post titles then do this,
  1. Go To Blogger > Design > Edit HTML
