Adding Label Name next to Blogger Post Title

AfterPost titles are usually located on top of your posts, and you can choose to show your post's labels at the bottom of you posts. Typically, you use label to categorize a post. For example, you'd use the label 'Books' to tell your readers that that particular post is about books, and 'Cooking' to indicate that it is a post related to cooking. Wouldn't it be cool if you could have your label automatically appear next to your post title, to allow your readers to distinguish which category your posts belong to? This blog post is a respond to Blog Readers Jelena Dimić and Euronomist.

Note: This is not a Dynamic View tutorial, as such it won't work with Dynamic View templates.

Step 1:

Backup your template by going to Dashboard - Template - Backup/Restore - Download Full Template. Next, go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - Expand Widget Templates - Find and delete the following lines:

Adding Author Name Below Post Title in Blogger Dynamic View

AfterBy default, author names appear at the bottom of your posts.. It says something like 'Posted 3 weeks ago by Yoga'. Given Dynamic View template's stylish design, it'd be more classy if the author name appears at top, below the post title. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion of course, but if you want your author name to appear below your post title, and remove the author name from the 'Posted 3 weeks ago' part, this post is just for you.

Adding a 'Read More' tag to Post Summaries in Magazine Dynamic View

AfterIf you're reading this post, you're probably no stranger to the way post summaries are presented in magazine view.. The template dynamically fetches an excerpt of your whole article (often your first paragraph) and present it as a post-summary on the front page. Unfortunately, the summaries are put in a way where one could easily miss the rest of your post - as very little has been done to indicate that the summary has more to it when you click on the post.. There isn't anything you can do to make the summary show the whole of your writing, but there is one thing you can do to indicate there is more to your summary - place a 'read more' tag to the end of your summary's line..
