Sometimes, artists are called nuts. In common people's eyes, they don't know
how to express themselves well but in their own artistic works, they are
just who they are. Maybe there is bedshaped soul lying beneath under every

How to Change Sidebar Background Color in Blogger Templates

Hi guys, writing a tutorial after a long time. Anyway, here is a simple tutorial to change the sidebar background color in new Blogger Template Designer templates. After this tutorial, you can easily change the sidebar background color from Template Designer.

  2. Blogger Updated Dashboard
  3. Click the Edit HTML button.
  4. Blogger Edit HTML Button
  5. A new window will open. You'd have to click the Proceed button to start editing.

    /* Variable definitions
    ====================
  8. REPLACE the above code with the following one:
    /* Variable definitions
    ====================

    <Group description="Right Sidebar Background" selector="body">
    <Variable name="sidebar.right.top.color" description="Right Top Sidebar Background" type="color" default="#00f" value="#0000ff"/>
    <Variable name="sidebar.right.left.color" description="Right Left Sidebar Background" type="color" default="#ff0" value="#ffff00"/>
    <Variable name="sidebar.right.right.color" description="Right Right Sidebar Background" type="color" default="#f0f" value="#ff00ff"/>
    </Group>

    <Group description="Left Sidebar Background" selector="body">

    <Variable name="sidebar.left.right.color" description="Left Right Sidebar Background" type="color" default="#f0f" value="#ff00ff"/>
    </Group>

    <Group description="Sidebar Column Background" selector="body">

    <Variable name="sidebar.bgl.color" description="Left Sidebar BG Color" type="color" default="#f00" value="#ff0000"/>
    </Group>
  9. After that, find ]]></b:skin> and REPLACE it with the following code:
    #sidebar-right-1 { background: $(sidebar.right.top.color); }
    #sidebar-right-2-1 { background: $(sidebar.right.left.color); }
    #sidebar-right-2-2 { background: $(sidebar.right.right.color); }

    ]]></b:skin>

  11. Blogger Save Template Close Buttons

How to Change the Background Color in Template Designer?


We've finished the coding stuff, now simply click the Customize button to open Blogger Template Designer.
Blogger Customize Button
Then click the Advanced tab. You'll see 3 new options there. First one is Right Sidebar Background. It has 3 further options.


Right Top Sidebar Background: This will change the background color of the top section in the right column.

Right Sidebar BG Color: The color in this option will change the background of whole column on the right side.
Left Sidebar BG Color: This option will change the background of left side column.

Blogspot How to: Setup Blogger Custom Domain

Blogspot How to: Setup Blogger Custom Domain

How to Setup Blogger Custom Domain


By default, your blog address is in this format; http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/. As you can see, all blogs hosted on Blogger have blogspot.com included in their address. Such an address is difficult to remember and it is not suitable for a professional blog. Traditionally, switching to a personalized domain required research, a web hosting comparison and the purchase of relatively expensive hosting. Fortunately, Blogger has made arrangements for those who are looking for free or cheap hosting while also upgrading to a more personalized domain name. Now, you can simply buy a custom domain directly through Blogger and forget about setting it up. In this tutorial, I'll explain this whole process of searching, buying and setting up a custom domain.

What is a Custom Domain?


The domain of my blog is a custom domain; http://www.betatemplates.com/. It is a .com domain. However, when someone creates a blog on Blogger, the address of that blog is in this format; http://example.blogspot.com/. Blogger adds .blogspot to all of its blogs.

Why Should I Use a Custom Domain?


The Blogger addresses are very difficult to remember because they contain .blogspot. Switching to a custom domain makes it really easy to create an easy-to-remember address. It also gives a good impression to have a custom domain specially for professional blogs.

What is the Cost of a Custom Domain?


Typically, a custom domain costs you around 10$ per year. You have to renew it annually to keep using it. Please note that Blogger provides us free hosting so no need to buy hosting.

I'm Ready, Lets Buy & Setup a Custom Domain!


Follow these steps:
  1. Log in to your Blogger account.
  2. Go to 'Settings' then 'Publishing' tab.
  3. Click 'Switch to: Custom Domain' option.
  4. Enter the desired domain name and check its availability.
    If you're looking for a .com domain then it might be difficult to find a great domain because a lot of people chose .com domain names so good luck for that. You can also chose .net, .biz, .info or .org domains but they're not as popular as .com domains.
  5. If that domain is available, Blogger will take you to Google Apps and you'd have to complete 3 steps there. These steps are well explained in the following video:


How Long Will it Take to Shift to a Custom Domain?


After setting up a custom domain, it might take up to 3 days to move to the custom domain. So, don't worry about that. Blogger also takes care of the settings behind the scenes.

What Happens to Existing Address, Visitors & PageRank?


Here comes the awesome features of Blogger. Your existing visitors will be automatically redirected to the custom domain. The PageRank is also kept intact so don't worry about that as well.
Creating a Picture Link in Blogger Posts

Creating a Picture Link in Blogger Posts


By default, when a user clicks a picture in a Blogger post, the picture opens up in a light box. However, you can also create a picture link so that when a user clicks a picture in a post, a new blog or a website will open. For example, the above image is linked to this post itself which is very handy. In this tutorial, I'll explain how you can link a picture to any blog or webpage.

Default Behavior of an Uploaded Image!


I've uploaded the following image and did not changed anything in it. Click and it will open in a light box:


Let's link the above image to some blog or webpage.

Creating an Image Link in the New Post Editor


First of all, upload an image. I'll upload the above image in my post. After that, switch to the HTML mode of post editor.


HTML mode shows the HTML code of uploaded image. By default, Compose mode is enabled which is easy but doesn't allow code editing. Anyway, here is the code of my uploaded image:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s1600/flower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="225" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg" /></a></div>

Note: Don't worry, your code will not be exactly the same because different images have different names, dimensions and alignment.

Please note that there will be 2 addresses or URLs in the uploaded image. For my image, these URLs are:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s1600/flower.jpg
&
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg

There is only 1 difference in the image URLs which is s1600 and s400. First URL with s1600 is actually the link URL. It is responsible for making this image a link. Second URL with s400 is the source URL. It displays the image.

As I've told you that the first URL is responsible for making image a link so, we need to change the first URL in our image code. For example, if I want to link the above uploaded image to my blog's homepage which is http://www.betatemplates.com/, I'll only replace the first URL of image with the URL of my blog's homepage. After that, the image code will look something like this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.betatemplates.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="225" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg" /></a></div>

As you can see that I've only changed the first URL. Second URL is still an image. Now, if you'll click the following image, it will take you to my homepage.



Make Image Link Open in a New Window or Tab

If you're linking your image to some other blog or website then it is a good practice to make it open in a new window or tab. By doing this, visitors will stay on your blog.

To do this, I'll just add target="_blank" in the image code just after the link address. The code will look like this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.betatemplates.com/" target="_blank" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="225" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg" /></a></div>


And here is the image itself. Just click and my blog homepage will open in a new tab/window.

Steps to Make Post Title Font Customizable in the Blogger Template Designer Templates.


  1. Open the Template section.
  2. Blogger Updated Dashboard
  3. Click the Edit HTML button.
  4. Blogger Edit HTML Button
  5. A new window will open. You'd have to click the Proceed button to start editing.
  6. Blogger Proceed Button
  7. Find the following code:
    /* Variable definitions
    ====================
  8. REPLACE the above code with the following one:
    /* Variable definitions
    ====================

    <Group description="Post Title Color" selector="h3.post-title">
    <Variable name="post.title.link.color" description="Link Color" type="color" default="#ff0000" value="#ff0000"/>
    <Variable name="post.title.hover.color" description="Link Hover Color" type="color" default="#0000ff" value="#00ffff"/>
    <Variable name="post.title.color" description="Color on Post Page" type="color" default="#ff00ff" value="#ff00ff"/>
    </Group>

    Don't save or preview your template yet. Proceed to the next step.
  9. Now find this code:
    ]]></b:skin>
    and REPLACE it with the following one:
    h3.post-title { color:$(post.title.color); }
    h3.post-title a, h3.post-title a:visited { color:$(post.title.link.color); }
    h3.post-title a:hover { color:$(post.title.hover.color); }

    ]]></b:skin>
  10. Click the Preview button. You'll see the post title color as blue. Don't worry you can change it later in Blogger Template Designer. Save your template and click the Close button.

Hurray, Coding Done! Go & Customize the Post Title in Template Designer!


Simply click the Customize tab to open the Blogger Template Designer. Select Advanced from the left options. You'll see Post Title Color at the top.:


There are 3 options in the Post Title Color. Here is their detail:


Link Color: This is the color of the post title as a link. Any change to this option will appear in the Template Designer.


Link Hover Color: This color will appear when someone brings mouse over the post title. Any change to this option will not be visible in the Template Designer. You'd have to Apply the change, open the blog and bring your mouse over the post title to see the change in color.


Color on Post Page: This is the color of the post title on post page when post title is not a link. Again, you'd have to Apply the change and open some post title page to see the affect.

How to Add Adsense Below Post Titles in Blogspot Blogs


Google Adsense is the most popular ad network on the planet. A lot of Blogger users also use it. It's an endless discussion where to place these ads on your blog for maximum exposure. The best ad places are around the header or above the posts or below the post titles. You can easily add adsense in your sidebar as a gadget. But Blogger doesn't allows us to directly place the ads below post titles. The ads below post titles have proven to be one of the most successful money making positions. So, what are you waiting for? Follow this tutorial to add your Adsense ads below post titles.

Please Note: I'm assuming that you're using the new Adsense interface.


Steps!

  1. Log in to your Google Adsense account by going to https://www.google.com/adsense/
  2. Go to My ads tab and open Ad units from the left side by expanding Content link.[View Screenshot for Help]
  3. Click new ad unit to create a new ad.[View Screenshot for Help]
  4. Select the size, type and color of your ad. For best results chose either 300x250 medium or 336x250 large rectangle.[View Screenshot for Help]
  5. Give your ad a remember-able name and ad a custom channel to track the ad performance. If you don't know anything about channels then leave that option.
  6. After filling required information, click save and get code button at the bottom of the page.[View Screenshot for Help]
  7. A pop-up window will appear with the ad code. Copy that code.[View Screenshot for Help]
  8. Before pasting the ad code in Blogger, we must make it compatible with Blogger format. So go to http://www.hacktrix.com/adsense-code-converter/ paste the ad code and convert it. You'll find the converted ad code in the bottom box there. Copy the converted ad code.
  9. Open your Blogger account and go to Design then Edit HTML tab and check Expand Widget Templates option.
  10. Press Ctrl + f & find <data:post.body/> you'll see some code like this:
  11.     <div class='post-body entry-content'>
    <data:post.body/>
    <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats -->
    </div>
  12. Paste the converted ad code just before the above code. The result would look something like this:
  13. <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
    /* my ads */
    google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
    google_ad_width = 300;
    google_ad_height = 250;
    //-->
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>
    <div class='post-body entry-content'>
    <data:post.body/>
    <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats -->
    </div>
  14. Click the PREVIEW button to see the result. Thought you might not see ads below post titles instantly because sometimes Adsense ads take some time to display.
  15. After that save your template by clicking the SAVE TEMPLATE button.

Tip: Make Ads Appear Only on Post Pages


Usually, users don't like to see too many ads on a single page. So, we can hide the ads under post titles on main page. These ads will appear only when users will click the post title and go to the post page. To do that follow the steps above but after step 8 you have the converted ad code. Ad some more code in that converted code so that it should look like this:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* my ads */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></b:if>

What I did here is that I've added an if condition to make the ads appear only on post pages. After that, follow the steps above to complete the tutorial.
