hi. i am confused with this instruction:
ReplyDelete"For example ,you want to show posts in category ' label1 ' in slider in homepage ,click on edit link in feature widget and enter 'label1' in feature widget content."
i follow exactly what you said but nothing is appeared in slider. please tell me what to do. thanks!
yeah men..so confused about feature ....more explain please...
ReplyDeleteit's exactly as what I said . In the dashboard -> go to page elements -> click on edit link in feature widget . A new dialog appear for widget title and widget content . enter the label which you want to show posts in widget content . See this picture for detail : http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/3953/90433727.jpg
ReplyDeleteI want to show 4 latest posts under category 'feature' in the slider ,so I entered label 'feature' in widget content . That's all .
If you want to show 4 latest posts under others category ,you can enter that category (label) in this widget content as I did

I want to remove the weekly video widget.
ReplyDeletePlease help.
@Alex and Dav7 : go to Settings in Dashboard ,in Basic tab of Setting ,go down till you see options Select Post editor ,choose updated editor ,and click on Save setting . After this step ,your post editor is the updated version . Click on Posting tab in dashboard ,and go to edit posts tab . Choose the post that you want to edit , open it ,click on image ,a new tooltip for image option will appear ,you can choose one of the options for image ,from small size -original size ,large size ,and you can also choose option for aligning image ,from left to centre to right . In pages you sent me ,pls choose align to centre .
ReplyDeleteThis is the easiest way . And I really hope that it helpful to you .
@JayDeep : to remove video widget ,open your template file and remove the code bellow :
<div class="fullwidget">
<a href="/search/label/video"><h3>Weekly video</h3></a>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="box">
<ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<script src=\"/feeds/posts/default/-/video?max-results="+numposts+"&orderby=published&alt=json-in-script&callback=showvideo\"><\/script>");

DeleteBut you might take a look at your demo theme
http://simplexauto.blogspot.com/
The problem is the comment button not beside the post title.
oh,I see . Thanks for your comment .
DeleteJust find this CSS code
.comments {
background: url("http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8256/commentq.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
height: 33px;
line-height: 26px;
margin: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
width: 31px;
}
and replace it with
.comments {
background: url("http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8256/commentq.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: none;
height: 33px;
line-height: 26px;
margin: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
width: 31px;
}
What is the reason ? It's very simple . Blogger team added a new 'threaded comment system' to blogger blogs . This comment system comes with some special CSS snipets . Unfortunately ,these CSS snipets which added by Blogger affected to existed CSS in template ( they have the same class name .comments ) . So what we do is very simple ,just add one CSS line to eliminating the affection of code added by Blogger team . See my live demo for result ^^
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
