Spice Up Your Blog Auto ‘Read More’ Code Advantages
Paul Crowe of Spice Up Your Blog, offers a script that automatically turns your posts into 'read more' summaries on your blog's home page with a few added extras. Here are some of the features of Paul's auto 'Read More' as used in this blog.- Your posts automatically display as short summaries with a 'Read more' link
- The first image from the post will be re-sized into a thumbnail and displayed beside the summary.
- You can choose how much text is displayed in the summary.
- You can choose the size of the thumbnail.
- All Previous posts will also have the jump break so you don't need to go through your archive adding it.
- Posts will also will also appear with jump breaks on your label pages and archive pages.
Spice Up Your Blog Auto ‘Read More’ Code Disadvantages
The coding used in Paul’s Blogged Tip seems to pull a truncated feed of your post and display it, since most formatting disappears in the post summaries. This is a liveable disadvantage, but still not quite what I would like to have, and will keep looking for a tweak.How to Add Auto 'Read More' Post Summaries To Your Blog
Skill Level:Intermediate-Requires fiddling with HTML of your Blogger blog. If this tip is outside your comfort zone or patience level,please contact me for help implementing the code.Here are the steps to implementing this code adapted from Spice up Your Blog:
Step 1. First,in your Blogger dashboard click Design > Edit Html > Tick The Expand Widget Templates Box
Step 2. Next,find the following piece of code in your blogs Html : (Click CTRL and F for a search bar to help find the code )
</head>
Step 3. Copy the following code and paste it Directly Above / Before </head> Note –If you are using a mobile template, place the code before the first instance of </head>
<script type='text/javascript'> var thumbnail_mode = "no-float" ; summary_noimg = 430; summary_img = 340; img_thumb_height = 120; img_thumb_width = 120; </script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://widgets.way2blogging.org/blogger-widgets/w2b-auto-readmore-blogger.js' ></script>
Important Code Tweaks
The code in red sets how the post summaries are displayed. If a post has an image, it will be re-sized into a thumbnail to be displayed beside the summary.If the post does not have an image, just a text summary will be displayed.
summary_ noimg= 430; --> The length of the summary if the post does not have a thumbnail. summary_img = 340; --> The length of the summary if there is an image in the post that will be converted into a thumbnail. null_thumb_height = 120; --> The height in pixels of the thumbnail. null_thumb_width = 120; --> The width in pixels of the thumbnail.
Step 4. Now,find the following piece of code in your blog's Html : (Click CTRL and F for a search bar to help find the code)
<data:post.body/>
Step 5. Then,replace <data:post.body/> With The Code Below
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <data:post.body/> <b:else/> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'> <data:post.body/> <b:else/> <div expr:id='"summary" + data:post.id'> <data:post.body/> </div> <script type='text/javascript'> createSummaryAndThumb("summary<data:post.id/>"); </script> <div style='clear: both;'/> <span class='rmlink' style='font-weight:bold;padding:5px;float:right;text-align:right;'><a expr:href='data:post.url' >Read more ... </a></span> </b:if> </b:if>
Notes:
- You can change the text in red from Read More to "Continue Reading", "Read Full Post" or anything you like.
- The first image in each post is used as a thumbnail.Try to have the first image in your posts as close to square as possible, so they work well when used as thumbnails on your home page.Images that are rectangular, for example, will appear distorted when they are re-sized.
Step 7. Finally Save Your Template.
Now all your posts including all archived posts will now be displayed with a summary and ‘read more’ on your home page, labels pages and archive pages.

2 Methods of Creating Effective Backlinks!
Effectively Create Back Links to Sites!
Creating Effective Backlinks: Skill Level - Easy to Intermediate
When sites post a relevant do follow link to you, it can help your SEO by linking back with a relevant "do follow" link. Deep linking to the specific spot where your link is located is preferable to a general link. Note: I highly advise against linking to irrelevant sites, or building hundreds of links overnight - this type of linking can hurt rather than help your search ranking. Here are two ways you can create a list of "Do follow" links of sites linked to you,so you can complete the SEO circuit, and keep search bots running smoothly.These two tips tell how to create a link list using html code that you can insert into a page,or Html box on most sites, and in Blogger using a Gadget. Are you looking for back links to your blog or site with tips about Social Media ? Please leave a comment below, or contact me directly for link exchange queries.How to Create Pages Tabs Showing Labelled Posts ~
Display Labelled Posts as Pages In 5 Steps!
Tutorial Level:Intermediate – Requires Fiddling with HTML
Blogger just rolled out a wider blog template with capability of supporting the new expanded Pages Widget, which lets you create up to 19 pages in addition to the standard blog Home page. But the multi-tasker in me, still wanted more.Wouldn't it be great if pages populated themselves? I found a great Blogger Hack and after experimenting with it, I’ve re-blogged it below with a couple of tweaks,and two variations.Would you like tabs that will call up all the posts by particular labels? This is how I created the tabs for: Blogger Tips,Facebook Tips ,and Twitter Tips,as well as Reviews above. Give it a try, and if you run into problems, drop me a comment,or Contact Me. I can also talk you through the process,or add them to your blog for you, if you’re short on time.
5 Steps to Creating a Tab Displaying Posts with a Particular Label
Adding a Tab to your Pages list in blogger is fairly easy, if you follow the following steps::
- First, label your posts according to subjects or categories.
- Second, Get the label URL by clicking the label under a post,then copy the URL from the browser address bar. Paste the URL into Notepad.The URL should look like this:
http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/search/label/YOURLABEL
or if the label has more than one word,like Facebook Tips, the Format will be like this:
http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/search/label/YOUR%20LABEL
ie.
http://bloggedtips.blogspot.com/search/label/Facebook%20Tips - Prepare your line of Code. The Pages widget is a link list.,You just need to tweak the label URL a bit to add it as a line to the Pages widget as another link. The line you will insert needs to be formatted as follows:
<li><a href='YOURLABELURL'>YOUR TAB NAME</a></li>
for example:
<li><a href='http://bloggedtips.blogspot.com/search/label/Facebook%20Tips'>Facebook Tips</a></li> - Next,Insert the code.
Go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML.
Tick the Expand Widget Templates box on top right of the HTML window.
Put the code for the additional line, right after </b:loop> and just before the end of the unordered links list</ul>. Look for the line of code in the Pages widget like this:
</b:if>
</b:loop>
PUT THE CODE FOR THE LINKS HERE
</ul>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
5. Finishing steps Preview your changes before saving. If the preview will not show, delete all changes and start over, you nay have misplaced a punctuation mark. Otherwise, simply save, and enjoy!
Variations:
- To make the link open in a new window or tab, add target="_blank" attribute right after href="YourLink".
- To add the new tabs before the static pages insert the code at the beginning of the link list right after"<ul>"
When you use this tip.please leave a comment with a link to your handiwork, so we can enjoy it too!
Looking Forward to seeing your handiwork!
