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.
