Add Floating Social Media Sharing Buttons To Blogger

The Floating Social Media Sharing is a very popular widget on all the top blogs and this is one of the ways to increase the number of times your posts get shared on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks.

This floating social bar has the following options: Facebook Like, StumbleUpon, Twitter Share, Digg This, Google+ and each of them comes with a live counter. You can add more sharing buttons or social bookmarking icons later if you want.

How to add the scrolling social bookmarking bar

Step 1. Log in to your Blogger Dashboard, select your blog and go to Layout

Step 2. Click on Add A Gadget link

Step 3. From the pop-up window, scroll down and select HTML/Javascript

Step 4. Copy the code below and paste it inside the empty box.

Step 5. Save the gadget.

The code to copy-paste (updated!):

<style type="text/css">
#social-buttons {
position:fixed;
bottom:15%;
margin-left:-721px;
float:left;
border-radius:5px;
-moz-border-radius:5px;
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
background-color:#fff;
padding:0 0 2px 0;
z-index:10;
}
#social-buttons .button-share {
float:left;
clear:both;
margin:5px 5px 0 2px;
}
</style>
<div id='social-buttons' title="Get this from helplogger.blogspot.com">
<div class='button-share' id='like' style='margin-left:7px;'>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-width="40" data-show-faces="false"></div>
</div>
<br /><div class='sbutton' style="margin-left: 2px;" ><a class='twitter-share-button' data-count='vertical' data-via='Helplogger' expr:data-counturl='data:blog.url' href='http://twitter.com/share' rel='nofollow'>Tweet</a><script src='http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js'; type='text/javascript'></script>
<br />
<div class='button-share' style="margin-left: 3px;" id='su'>
<script src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5"></script>
</div>
<div class='button-share' 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='button-share' style='margin-left:3px;' 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 style="color: #3399BB;" href="http://helplogger.blogspot.com/">widget</a></div></div></div>

Customization:

Vertical alignment - Change the 15% value of bottom. The code positions the social bar 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 -721px value from margin-left. Negative value pushes the button to the left of the main blog column, positive value pushes it to the right. Increase or decrease the value based on your needs.

Twitter setting - Replace Helplogger with your Twitter username

Replacing and removing buttons - You can replace existing buttons with your own. Each button is represented by this code:

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

Enjoy!!! :)

Create A Rollover Image Effect (change image on mouseover)

The Rollover effect is one in which an image web object changes (swaps itself) on mouse over to another web object (called rollovers) and reverts back to the original image on mouse out. Rollover images are preloaded into the page when it is loading, this ensures that the rollovers are displayed quickly. The onMouseOver and onMouseOut attributes of the link tag are used to make this functional.

Demo: Place your mouse over the image below to see its rollover effect

Making Rollover Effect Image

You have the following code:

<a href="URL ADDRESS"><img src="URL OF THE FIRST IMAGE GOES HERE" onmouseover="this.src='URL OF THE SECOND IMAGE GOES HERE'" onmouseout="this.src='URL OF THE FIRST IMAGE GOES HERE'" /></a>

Change the colored texts as it follows:

1. URL ADDRESS

This is the address where somebody will be sent when clicks on the image.
Example, my blog address: http://www.helplogger.blogspot.com

2. URL OF THE FIRST IMAGE GOES HERE

Replace the orange text (two times) with the URL address of the image which will appear before you hover over it.

3. URL OF THE SECOND IMAGE GOES HERE
Replace the text in blue with the url of the image that will appear when the cursor hovers over it.

Now you can paste your image inside a blog gadget, going to Layout > click on Add a Gadget link (right side) > Select HTML/JavaScript from the pop-up window, then add it to your sidebar.

You can also add it inside your post by going to New Post > Switch to HTML tab and then paste the code in the empty box.

That's it. Enjoy ;)

How To Change Avatar Size In Blogger Comments

This simple trick will help you modify the avatars size in Blogger comments whose default size is of 36px... pretty small considering that a lot of sites these days are using much larger avatars. To change the style and size of avatars is very easy - you just need to add the CSS code in your Blogger template that will make size of avatars to have width and height of 64px.

Step 1. Go to Dashboard - Template - click on the Edit HTML button

...click anywhere inside the code area and press CTRL + F to open the blogger' search box

Step 2. Type or paste this tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it:

]]></b:skin>

Note: you may need to click on the arrow next to it and then search this tag again

Step 3. Depending on which comment system you use (with reply/no reply), copy and paste one of the following codes just above it:

[Works in Blogger threaded comment system]

.comments .avatar-image-container{
background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);
border:1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
width: 64px;
max-height: 64px;
}
.comments .avatar-image-container img{
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
max-width: 64px;
height: 64px;
}

[for old blogger commenting system]

.avatar-image-container{
border:1px solid #d6d6d6;
margin-left: -30px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
background:#fff;
height:70px;
min-height: 70px;
width:70px;
min-width:70px;
}
.avatar-image-container img {
background: url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCsNmaCTK6rEm2TnO5cqPcr7zMhRRZWv5UcgbIrvvHuXxDSTMCP6Z6S3LTD5AdDLIxy6dubcXe4EpLY03MFp6z7fIv4zJZIbqMZIRESCKksQYfZlQhyaPRfbrTJBScsp-Ml7TIgwL1XgQ/s200/anonymous.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-size: 100%;
width:70px;
min-width:70px;
height:70px;
min-height:70px;
}

Note: For bigger/smaller avatars, change the values in red. To change the anonymous avatar, replace the URLs in blue with your own. (works only for the old commenting system i.e. that has no reply option)

Step 4. Cick on the Save template button to apply the changes.

That's it. Now the Blogger comments avatars should look bigger.

How to Hide Blogger Sidebar to Display AdSense For Search Results

When visitors are searching for content on your blog, you have three options to display the search results: opening the results in the same window, in a new window or within your own site using an iframe.

The best option would be, however, to display the search results within your own site/blog, mainly because you are not sending people off your blog when they are taken to a new page of search results which could be confusing for many because it doesn't look anything like your site or Google. Therefore, displaying the search results within your site, could make it look much more professional and may also increase the page views and the revenue from the ads on the search page.

A problem that many bloggers are facing is that the page which displays the AdSense for search results must be at least of 800 px wide, so the posting area must be of minimum 800px and there's nothing like this in most of the blogs.
So, what we will do in this tutorial is to set up the search results to be displayed in a static page (none of other posts or pages will be affected) in which we'll remove the sidebar so that we'll have enough space to make the post/page section of 800px wide. Moreover, we will create a static page designed only for the search results, then create a new AdSense for search in our AdSense account and finally add a small snippet of code top in your Blogger template to hide the sidebar in that specific page.

Search results span the width of the page with the sidebar hidden:

Display AdSense For Search Results Within Blogger Page

Step 1. Create a new static page on your blog, you can give it the title 'Search Results' but leave the content section empty and then Publish the page.

Step 2. When you publish the page you have the option to add the page to a menu, choose the third option 'No Gadget Link To Pages Manually' click 'Save and Publish'. In case this screen doesn't show, right click on View Page and select Copy Link Address. We will need this URL of the page later when we will create the AdSense for search.

Step 3. Go To Your AdSense account, then go to My ads tab, select the Search option and Create a New custom search engine. Follow the steps until you come to the Search results option.

Step 4. Select the 3rd method "on my website using an iframe", then Enter the URL of the page you created into the URL field and continue.

Step 5. Follow the rest of the set up process and at the end you will be given two pieces of code. The first piece of code is for the actual search bar which you can paste into a Html/JavaScript gadget on your sidebar or wherever you want it. The second piece of code you need to copy and paste it into a new HTML/JavaScript gadget, click on Save, then drag it above the Blog Posts area

Now that you have your page set up with the search results code and your search bar code in your sidebar, it is time to add a snippet of code to your template to remove the sidebar.

Adding The Code In Blogger To Change the Results Page Layout

Step 1. From Your Blogger Dashboard, go to Template and click on the Edit HTML button

Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the Blogger' search box

Step 3. Find (CTRL + F) the following piece of code

]]></b:skin>

Step 4. Just below it, paste this code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "PAGE-URL-HERE"'>
<style>
.main-inner .columns {
padding-left: 0px !important;
padding-right: 0px !important;
}
.main-inner .fauxcolumn-center-outer {
left: 0px !important;
right: 0px !important;
}
.main-inner .fauxcolumn-left-outer, .main-inner .fauxcolumn-right-outer, .main-inner .column-left-outer, .main-inner .column-right-outer {
display: none !important;
}
</style>
</b:if>

Note: Replace PAGE-URL-HERE with the url of the page where the search results will be displayed (the one you have added at the step 4)

Step 5. Now Save Template and you're done!

This simple trick allows you not only to hide the sidebar in the search results page, you can as well, hide it on any page you want... just create your page and follow the same steps. It is also recommended to hide the sidebar in Privacy Policy Pages, Contact Pages and on all the non-content-based pages with little content or no content at all.

Show Blogger Image only in Homepage and Hide it in Post Page

To hide images/pictures from blogger posts and make them appear only in homepage, we will add just a small piece of CSS code in our template and then use the class "hidepic" each time we want to hide an image.

Just follow the next steps:

Step 1. Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML

Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the search box:

Step 3. Type or paste this code inside the search box then hit Enter to find it:

]]></b:skin>

Step 4. Paste the following code just below it

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "index"'>
<style>
.hidepic{
display: none;
}
</style>
</b:if>

Step 5. Save the Template.

Now, each time you create a post, first add the picture that you want to hide and then switch to the HTML tab where you'll see the HTML code of the image that you added - it will look something like this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZV4vz4dScr9t0dt0PqgZr199wJLLm7UVEjzecgXoZE7eEorDXS6DCtjATz06oE_xWeeiSvt4krYYC07Ros_1UTf3PMaubGy7KQzokD6onJuYGu0dYlR43otmdufVpnwhOr7ajCthyphenhyphenMSw/s1600/fire_bird_by_fhrankee-d32af8v.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZV4vz4dScr9t0dt0PqgZr199wJLLm7UVEjzecgXoZE7eEorDXS6DCtjATz06oE_xWeeiSvt4krYYC07Ros_1UTf3PMaubGy7KQzokD6onJuYGu0dYlR43otmdufVpnwhOr7ajCthyphenhyphenMSw/s320/fire_bird_by_fhrankee-d32af8v.png" width="320" /></a></div>

Note: it should be at the exact location where your image has been added
(if the image is at the middle of the text, then the code should be found at the middle)

Step 6. Replace "separator" with "hidepic" - see the screenshot below:

How to Remove Showing Posts With Label in Blogger

For any default Blogger layout, the "Showing posts with label" message shows up above the posts each time you click on a label link. As it's a pretty useless and annoying message, many people like to have it removed. If that is your wish, just follow the tutorial below:

Removing "Showing post with label...show all posts"

Step 1. Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML (if necessary, click on Proceed button)

Step 2. Click anywhere inside the template code, then search - using CTRL+F - this code:

<b:includable id='status-message'>

After you found it, click on the sideways arrow next to it, to expand the rest of the code.

Screenshot:

Step 3. Below is this code that you need to remove - along with the first one, as well:

     <b:includable id='status-message'>
      <b:if cond='data:navMessage'>
      <div class='status-msg-wrap'>
        <div class='status-msg-body'>
          <data:navMessage/>
        </div>
        <div class='status-msg-border'>
          <div class='status-msg-bg'>
            <div class='status-msg-hidden'><data:navMessage/></div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div style='clear: both;'/>
      </b:if>

Step 4. Replace it with this one:

<b:includable id='status-message'>
<b:if cond='data:navMessage'>
<div>
</div>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>

Step 5. Save the template. Now view your blog and click on some label....there should be no box anymore.

How to Add the Recent Posts Widget to Blogger

Step 1. From your Blogger Dashboard, go to Layout > click on Add a Gadget link

Step 2. From the pop-up window, scroll down and choose HTML/JavaScript

Step 3. Inside the empty box, add the following code:

<div class="eggTray">
<script src="http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/listbadge.js">{"pipe_id":"1a6640e2a78b2c6e736f2220529daae5","_btype":"list",
"pipe_params":{"URL":"YOUR-BLOG/feeds/posts/default"},
"hideHeader":"false","height":"500","count": 8 }</script>
<noscript>Your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript></div>
<style type=text/css>
.eggTray {margin:10px 0px;padding:0px;}
.ybr li {border-bottom:0px #cccccc dotted; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px!important;}
.pipesTitle {padding-top:0px;}
.pipesDescription {display:true;}
.ycdr, .ycdr a {color:#999999;}
.widget .popular-posts ul {padding-left:0;}
</style>

Note:
- Replace YOUR-BLOG with the url of your site/blog (ex: http://helplogger.blogspot.com) and pay attention to have no forward slash symbol "/" at the end of the url
- To disable the scroll bar, remove the number 500
- By default, this widget is set to display a maximum of 8 recent posts. To change this number, replace the number 8 with the number of posts that you want to appear
- if you want only the posts titles, change true to none and "0" from padding-top:0px with 10

Step 4. Save your widget. And you're done!
