digita7seven - Just Another Blogger Page

Visitors who come to one of our posts is probably not going to browse for another post after they already found what they've been looking for. Most of them came after the search result shows something related in our post and will close our page after they finished reading it.

The question now : How to make them stay a little longer in our blog ? In other words, We want them to read another post to make them stay for more.


Others beside the popular posts or the post labels is the related posts reference that will keep them stay. If you put another interesting post for them right after the post, They might be interested to click the post link.

The related post i'm going to show you is the widget that will show the thumbnail of the post as well as the post title.


Here's how you create it :

• Log in to Blogger.
• Go to the dashboard > Template > Edit HTML > Proceed
• Tick Expand Widget Templates.
• Use the Ctrl+F function to find this code :

</head>

Copy and paste the below codes right BEFORE the </head> code :

    <!--Related Posts with thumbnails Scripts and Styles Start-->
    <!-- remove --><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
    <style type='text/css'>
    #related-posts {
    float:center;
    text-transform:none;
    height:100%;
    min-height:100%;
    padding-top:5px;
    padding-left:5px;
    }

    #related-posts h2{
    font-size: 18px;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-transform: none;
    color: #5D5D5D;
    font-family: Arial Narrow;
    margin-bottom: 0.75em;
    margin-top: 0em;
    padding-top: 0em;
    }
    #related-posts a{
    border-right: 1px dotted #DDDDDD;
    color:#5D5D5D;
    }
    #related-posts a:hover{
    color:black;
    background-color:#EDEDEF;
    }
    </style>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    var defaultnoimage=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgScgmP8hSi2GRcxX4xGSd7Olo81fBLSwPgDbSRe1OeN5Vs9-E9oImXmYlNmj_4YD0diU1Gs7W4okw7wHLl6zV1AUI_GUlYx2Hmrq6YCC141HVpHsVM8ztP_URH_N7AQbVob8Iu171DUHvv/s1600/no_image.jpg&quot;;
    var maxresults=4;
    var splittercolor=&quot;#DDDDDD&quot;;
    var relatedpoststitle=&quot;Related Posts&quot;;
    </script>
    <script src='http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/related-posts-with-big-thumbnails.js' type='text/javascript'/>
    <!-- remove --></b:if>
    <!--Related Posts with thumbnails Scripts and Styles End-->

The default image will be the image from your individual post, You don't have to change anything for the post thumbnail.

But you can replace 4 from var maxresults=4 with your own value. This value indicates the amount of related post that will be shown after your post.

• Now use the Ctrl+F function again to find this code :

    <div class='post-footer'>

 *This code will be available for your editing only if you Tick the Expand Widget Templates. Please make sure you already did this.

Copy and paste the below codes right BEFORE the <div class='post-footer'>
code :

     <!-- Related Posts with Thumbnails Code Start-->
    <!-- remove --><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
    <div id='related-posts'>
    <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
    <b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>
    </b:if>
    <script expr:src='&quot;/feeds/posts/default/-/&quot;   data:label.name   &quot;?alt=json-in-script&amp;callback=related_results_labels_thumbs&amp;max-results=4&quot;' type='text/javascript'/></b:loop>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    removeRelatedDuplicates_thumbs();
    printRelatedLabels_thumbs(&quot;<data:post.url/>&quot;);
    </script>
    </div><div style='clear:both'/>
    <!-- remove --></b:if>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'><b:if cond='data:post.isFirstPost'>
    <a href='http://helplogger.blogspot.com'><img alt='Blogger Tricks' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvzu06o5w2cMsrEapta9uBxfro2HsDHZqBV-moVekue9vkeu8akkkdYfDaQWBohkrNVtfr9WUA8yB6RjTIYm2x810FUJEdtq6jYNvfMB9s4zPnovIWp1GDFGsqN_jO9rEHnwe-BnhRqpi/s1600/best blogger tips.png'/></a>
    </b:if></b:if>
    <!-- Related Posts with Thumbnails Code End-->

Replace the above value marked with red with your value again for related post amount and save your widget.
