Repositioning Gadget-dock from Right to Left in Blogger Dynamic Views

AfterA few months ago, Blogger (finally) introduced the ability to add gadgets to Dynamic View templates. As of the time of this writing, Dynamic View templates support up to 13 gadgets to be added to its gadget-dock. However, the gadget dock itself is very much fixed to the right of your blog, and there isn't an option to bring it to the left. When you can have left-sidebars in non-Dynamic View templates, why not have the same in Dynamic View templates? This is a respond to blog reader Richard.

IMPORTANT: There's a reported bug in the tweak that affects users with long list of Archive gadget (and possibly any other long gadgets that require a scrollbar).. If you have a long gadget, you should skip this tweak until the bug is fixed.

Semi-transparent Post Background in Blogger Dynamic View

To put simply, this week's tutorial allows you to transform your default post background (plain ol' white) to a slightly transparent version of itself - letting your beautiful background to be seen through your posts.

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.

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.
