Text customization - Magazine Style Text

VM | 7:24 pm | Be the first to comment!
H
ere's another way you can customize your Blog. In this case, your Post. This tutorial will be about Magazine text style in Blogger Posts. You often see this style in newspapers, literature, magazines....It looks all right.

And here are two different Magazine styles:

Drop CAPS


Big size of the First letter in the PostTo achieve this effect, you have to place some code in your EDIT HTML section of Post Editor.


Code for DROP CAPS:

<span style="float:left;color:#000000;font-size:100px;
line-height:70px;padding-top:2px;font-family: Times, serif, Georgia;">L</span>

Ok. You have to "surround" your letter with this code. For example, I've surrounded letterL (in orange), which will be on the beginning of my Post.
You can change some settings if you like:

- color: #000000 (black) to whatever hex color you like (you can use color names also)
- font-size: just change 100px to whatever
- font-family: Times, Arial, Verdana....
- padding

Code for BIG FIRST LETTER:
<span style="font-family:Georgia,;color:#000000;
font-size:56px;font-weight:normal;line-height:80%;letter-spacing:-6px;">L</span>

Same thing here. Here's the example of some text in editor, and placed code:




If you are going to do this often, and it bothers you to copy so much code every time, you can create some CSS style in your HTML template code. Go to:
DASHBOARD --> LAYOUT --> EDIT HTML, place the following code (white), above existing (orange):

.dropcap {
float:left;
color:#000000;
font-size:100px;
line-height:70px;
padding-top:2px;
font-family: Times, serif, Georgia;
}


body {
background:$bgcolor;
margin:0;
color:$textcolor;

Save Settings. Now, next time you want to "surround" your first letter with code, it will look like this:
<span class="dropcap">L</span>

This was a CSS for DROP CAPS, for BIG FIRST LETTER it's the same story, just change the CSS part, so it will look like this:

.bigfirst {
font-weight:normal;
color:#000000;
font-size:56px;
line-height:80%;
letter-spacing:-6px;
font-family: Times, serif, Georgia;
}

When you're "surrounding" your letter, you'll use this code:
<span class="bigfirst">L</span>
NOTE:
- it is recommended to apply code at the end, and publish it from EDIT HTML mode (sometimes, if you switch from compose to HTML, it can undo the change - this doesn't happen if you placed CSS in your template)
- you can (and sometimes you'll have to) adjust font size, padding, color in the code
- you can use paragraphs to gain some line space between Post title and Content text
<p>
<span style="float:left;color:#000000;font-size:100px;line-height:70px;padding-top:2px;font-family: times;">L</span>orem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis id odio quis ipsum fermentum dapibus. Nam magna. Aenean quis dolor ac enim luctus tristique. Aliquam sagittis accumsan est.
</p>

That's about it. Remember to change some colors! You can find some hex values here...

More Pictures in one row or side by side view

VM | 6:24 pm | Be the first to comment!
By default, when you upload pictures (images, or videos)) into your Blogger Posts, they are placed one after another. In one column.




The only thing we can choose, is to align them (left-center-right). There's no option to organize them so they can be next to each other, in one row (horizontal).
The best way to do this, is using the TABLES (if you want to know more about HTML Tables, visit www.w3schools.com).

1. You have to find out what is the WIDTH of your post area. To calculate how many pics can fit there. In Blogger, go to LAYOUT --> EDIT HTML, and in code section, find the following:
#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
...so, in my case, it's 410 px. But you can't use all of it. Margins are also included. So, you can use about 390-400px.

2. Calculating. How many pics will fit.
Important thing to know is, when we place pictures in the table, we will make them smaller. But clicking on each, they will open in full size.

3. Upload pictures to:
- free web host service to get the URL address (Photobucket, Picasa, TinyPic...)
- or upload pics directly (through blogger), and get the code from there

4. Let's make a table. I'll make one with 1 Row (horizontal), and 3 Columns (vertical). And place my pics in it.
PLACE THE CODE IN "EDIT HTML" MODE! See the picture:
Here's the code for it:
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td><a href="PIC 1 URL" target="_blank" title="View">
<img height=200 width=120 src="PIC 1 URL" alt="pic name"/></a></td>
<td><a href="PIC 2 URL" target="_blank" title="View">
<img height=200 width=120 src="PIC 2 URL" alt="pic name"/></a></td>
<td><a href="PIC 3 URL" target="_blank" title="View">
<img height=200 width=120 src="PIC 3 URL" alt="pic name"/></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
....REPLACE the lines in orange, with your pics URL (from a free web host).
....in blue, change number 0 to 1,2,3,4.....if you want a border around the table
....adjust width accordingly to width of post area (120 + 120 + 120 = 360 px, it fits into 410 px)
....change the green text to whatever (you can see this when placing your mouse cursor on the pic)
....in purple, give your picture a name (for search engines)
....and here's the result:


...when you click on your pic, you'll see the full size of it...

PROBLEMS:
► if you haven't deactivated it, the default blogger border will still appear around the pic (look at the arrow in the picture above) . If you want to remove it from certain pics, add some style (in orange) to the the existing line (in white):
<td><a href="PIC 2 URL" target="_blank" title="View">
<img height=200 width=120 src="PIC 2 URL" alt="pic name" style="border:none;"/></a></td>
...use the same rule for every picture...

► notice a lot of empty space between Title and Table. This happens because Blogger adds a <br /> tag for each time you press the Enter key to start a new line. To reduce it, add the following code ABOVE the table:
<style type="text/css">.nobrtable br { display: none }</style>
<div class="nobrtable">
...and this one UNDER the table:
</div>
So, these are the basics. It ain't so complicated, and there's a million options. You can use Tables for:
inserting pictures (make more rows, columns....)
placing text, making bullet lists
placing videos side by side
really, whatever you can think of....
Options:

-- add some headings to the pictures, make another row, and place it above (or under) the pictures. For my example, like this:
<table border="0">
<tr>
<th align="center">Name 1</th>
<th align="center">Name 2</th>
<th align="center">Name 3</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://i34.tinypic.com/95pfk6.jpg" target="_blank" title="View">
<img src="http://i34.tinypic.com/95pfk6.jpg" alt="pic name" width="120" height="200" /></a></td>
<td><a href="http://i37.tinypic.com/nq5yfp.jpg" target="_blank" title="View">
<img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/nq5yfp.jpg" alt="pic name" width="120" height="200" /></a></td>
<td><a href="http://i36.tinypic.com/iwuf85.jpg" target="_blank" title="View">
<img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/iwuf85.jpg" alt="pic name" width="120" height="200" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
...added row is in orange
...you can change the alignment into right, left (in green)



 

...if you'd like to change font color, size, family, add this code:
<font size="6" face="arial" color="#000000"></font>
...change the styles to whatever suits you...

-- leave an empty cell by not placing nothing between:
<td></td>
-- fill the cell with text, instead of picture:
<td>Some text goes here...</td>
-- color the cell with some color:
<td bgcolor="#000000">Some text here...</td>
-- add some space (padding) from borders:
<table border="0" cellpadding="10">
-- create bullet list in the cell:
<td>Title of the list
<ul>
<li>something</li>
<li>something else</li>
<li>nothing</li>
</ul>
</td>

That's about it....Learn more visiting www.w3schools.com.

CONCLUSION:
This can look like a big deal, but really, it's not. When you do it once, you're ready. Save the code somewhere (Notepad, ....), just copy it, and paste when composing post.
You can also create tables using any HTML editor (like Dreamweaver, for example). Just copy the code from it....
There's also a way of doing this through Windows Live Writer, if you're using it.

If you'll need help, ask....

Widget customization - how to style each widget differently

VM | 6:16 pm | Be the first to comment!
Well, this is interesting. We've already learned  to tweak and stylize our Blogger widgets (gadgets), in general. For example adding icon beside sidebar title heading and placing icon or image beside Labels and Links. That's cool. But now, we'll learn how to tweak and style each widget (gadget) differently! Meaning:
 each of your widgets (Labels, Archive, Links, custom widget) can have it's own looks (color, font, borders, images....anything!)
remember that WIDGET is the same thing as GADGET

Ok, here's the simple example:










I've chosen to differ my widgets a bit, so I changed a the style of Labels, Links, Archive and Picture widget. I choose these widgets just for this example. Remember that you can do this with every other widget too!



There are a few simple steps you'll have to take:

► choose which widget you'd like to style, and identify it in Blogger HTML code
► add some CSS style in the code that will spice up our widget
► don't lose your marbles (be patient and creative)


Choosing and Identifying

Each widget added in Blogger Layout has a unique ID. We will use this ID to apply some style to our widget. So, our job is to dive into the Blogger HTML code, and locate these ID's. Let's go. From your Dashboard, go to:
LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► and scroll all the way to the bottom. Because I choose to style my Sidebar widgets (gadgets), I'll look inside of sidebar-wrapper. In my case, the code looks like this:

<div id='sidebar-wrapper'>
<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/>
<b:widget id='LinkList1' locked='false' title='Links' type='LinkList'/>
<b:widget id='Image1' locked='false' title='My Picture' type='Image'/>
<b:widget id='BlogArchive2' locked='false' title='Blog Archive' type='BlogArchive'/>
</b:section>
</div>
Ok. You can see the ID's of my widgets:
Label widget ID ► Label1
Links widget ID ► LinkList1
Picture widget ID ► Image1
Archive widget ID ► BlogArchive2

Sometimes, if you have a lot of custom widgets, it's hard to guess it's ID. In this case, just remember that their position is the same as they appear in your Blog frontpage. If the Labels widget is in the 1st place, it will be in the 1st place in the code too..
First step is done. Let's move on.


Styling and tweaking

Now, the fun part. To style the widget, you'll have to know a bit of CSS. But don't worry, you can get this in minutes. In previous step , we've learned to identify the ID of our widget. Now, we'll use it. Let's start with customizing the Link List widget. From Blogger Dashboard, we'll go to:
LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► and locate this part (for easier searching, use CTRL + F, and type "/head"):


]]></b:skin>
</head>
ABOVE this part, you'll place the CSS style for your custom Link List Widget (gadget), so the whole thing will look like this:

#LinkList1 {
background:#FFF4BF;
padding-left:15px;
font:14px Arial;
border-bottom:2px solid #FFE25F;
}

#LinkList1 h2 {
background: url(http://i40.tinypic.com/wummhj.jpg) no-repeat bottom left;
height:35px;
padding-top:10px;
font-size:0px;
}

#LinkList1 a:link {
color:#5F5F5F;
text-decoration:none;
}
#LinkList1 a:visited {
color:#5F5F5F;
text-decoration:none;
}
#LinkList1 a:hover {
color:$titlecolor;
text-decoration:underline;
}

]]></b:skin>
</head>
Now to explain a bit:
The part in blue is the style for the specific widget box (in this case Link List). You can change background, font style, position, colors, borders of the widget.
Green part is defining only the HEADING of the widget. In my example, I've placed a picture instead of regular text, and with the "font-size:0px" the original heading is hidden. Pretty cool. This way, you can have different heading for each widget in your Blogger template!
In orange, I've defined how my LINK and HOVER colors will look like. I had to do this because the background of my new widget style was blending with original default link color. Now you know that you can use different colors for your links in every widget!

Here is the complete code with Labels and Picture widget (for my example):
View the code here.


Ok, I think you've got it. Remember, this was just an example. You can do a lot more. The only important thing is to remember that you have to IDENTIFY your widget, and STYLE it through your Blogger code.

A little patience and a few cookies, and you're there.....

Post Title customization for blogger

VM | 6:00 pm | Be the first to comment!



How to customize your blogger Post Title...we can add some background picture behind the post title, or borders, change font......................well, a lot.



Before doing any customization, back up your template. Just in case....
Let's start with the beginning. Heh.

For customization, we will use the CSS style in the code section that corresponds to ourPost Title:
.post h3 {
margin:.25em 0 0;
padding:0 0 4px;
font-size:140%;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:1.4em;
color:$titlecolor;
}



.....Attention:
this example is made in Minima Blogger default template, so your actual code may differ a bit
it's important to find the part ".post h3", or if you have custom template, the find the part that "carries" the style for your Post Title...It's also important to know the width of your Post Title area, which is basically the same as your Post Content area ("main-wrapper" by default). This information, you'll find in this part of code:
#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;...in orange, you can see the width, which is (in my case) 410px (pixels).

Attention again:

this is an example for Minima default template, your width can be different (or is)
"main-wrapper" represents Post Content area in Minima template, but yours can differ...(for example, the Post Content area in Rounders default template is called "#main-wrap1")
if you have custom template, you just have to find what part of the style (code) corresponds to your Post Content area...Let's do something, already....

BACKGROUND PICTURE IN POST TITLE
 

To add a background picture behind our Post Title, we have to do 4 small things:

1. check the width of Post Title area (or Post Content area, or) -- like in example ABOVE
2. create (or find) a picture for our background, which will be the same width as Post Title / Content area......(you can make the width smaller, of course, but if you make it bigger, it will be "cropped")......you can choose height of the pic as you wish....
3. upload the picture to a free web host (Photobucket, Picasa, TinyPic....) to get the URL address
4. place the URL address in the code, so our pretty background can show up.....

....when you do the first 3 things, go to LAYOUT --> EDIT HTML --> and in the Post Title CSS style/code, add the some lines:
.post h3 {
background: url(URL OF HOSTED PICTURE); background-repeat:no-repeat;
height:55px;
margin:.25em 0 0;
padding:14px 40px 4px;
font-size:140%;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:1.4em;
color:$titlecolor;
}



....in orange, we've added some background settings, and our picture (you have to replace CAPS with the URL adress of your hosted picture)


....in blue, we've added the line which tells Blogger that our picture has a certain height...you'll change this value corresponding to the height of YOUR PIC

....in green, you have to adjust your Title to fit into picture, change the value (higher value--> pushes the title more down)

....and in pink you can "push" your Title to the right, increasing this value....




Taa- daaam! That's it......




be creative, you can do whatever you want.....

if you'll need any advice, just ask.....I'll help. Promise.

COLORS AND BORDERS IN THE POST TITLE



This is a much simple way of customizing Post Titles in Blogger. And you can create great effect with it, also......

Here's the example of using some border styles and some background color:

LAYOUT --> EDIT HTML --> locate the Post Title CSS style/code, and add the following lines:


.post h3 {
background:#9fddea;
border:1px inset #000000;
margin:.25em 0 0;
padding:0 5px 4px;
font-size:140%;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:1.4em;
color:$titlecolor;

}


....in orange, we've added some background color (you can choose any hex value you like)


....in green, we've choose a border "1px" thick, with color #000000 (black), and "inset" style....more about border styles here....

....in blue, we "pushed" our title a little bit to the right, so it's not to close to a border (higher value --> pushes more to the right)




....if you want your Post Title to be underlined....use this line:

border-bottom:1px solid #000000;....of course, change the width, color and border style to whatever suits you....




....well, that's about it. If you are interested in some more customization of Post Titles, or you want something else, read the article about placing icons in Post Titles.....

Change The Username In The Code 

  1. Red one with your feedburner username
  2. Brown one with your twitter username
  3. Green one with your facebook username
  4. Blue one with your linked in username
If you want to remove the linked in tab cuz most of us dont have the linked in profile so just remove the coloured  line in the code
                  <li><a class="linkedin" href="http://my.linkedin.com/bloggingheaven/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Connect with me on LinkedIn</a></li>
