2.Slowing Down Of Blogger



As one of reader didn't used it because of slowing down the loading of blogger.As for this the dror cedor from wibiya.com gave a simple solution to it as you can read his comment here.

What exactly you have to do is that how to start the loading of widget after blog gets loaded.For this here is the simple solution.

The code which you will get to be placed in blogger will be like this.


<script src='http://toolbar.wibiya.com/toolbarLoader.php?toolbarId=XXXX' type='text/javascript'></script>


Now what you have to do is just add &pl=1 in your link after you toolbar id as i have assumed here to be XXXX and make whole code look like below :-


<script src='http://toolbar.wibiya.com/toolbarLoader.php?toolbarId=XXXX&pl=1' type='text/javascript'></script>


What i have done is just added red part in link. By adding this the widget will load only after when the blog gets loaded, which will not effect the loading of blogger.

*Note:-If you are adding the script in widget its ok.But if then you adding in blogger codes it will not accept the script after making changes.So just make it code friendly from this Encode tool.

I checked this and really it had no effect on loading speed of my blog now.

I hope now you will have now no problem in installing the widget.

How To Host Javascript Or .js files on Blogger Itself


How To Host Javascript Or .js files on Blogger, yes as blogger supports javascript which makes blogger support all the possible hacks in this platform, but the problem we bloggers face in using this is , where to host this javascript on blogger.As blogger doesn't provide any source to host javascript for blog like it has provided picasa for images.As of before we all were using googlepages to upload the .js files but google closed this service and switched to google sites.As still we can upload these .js files to google sites but just upload it with file extension .txt instead of .js and it start working.

But still,we can face any problem in future with it.The best solution is to have paid server to host your files for unlimited bandwidth, but bloggers using this free platform dont like spending on it.



I also provided you with the list of some servers to upload your javascript files but the problem was bandwidth which was very less.

So i will provide you the best solution to host your javascript on blogger itself and enjoy unlimited bandwidth.

Now just see the below codes.


<script src='http://Your-Script-Url/file.js' type='text/javascript'/>


Whenever you are trying to implement some hack making use of javascript you would have mostly been asked to download the .js file and upload to your own server,get its url and then replace it with red link in above codes shown above,and then place the whole above codes in blogger html before closing of head tag.The Problem we all face is getting an free server with unlimited bandwidth to host these javascripts.

So why don't we upload these javascripts to blogger itself.Just what you have to do is,whenever you are asked to do this kind of above stuff while implementing any hack.

Just use below code in place of above one i showed you.


<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
<--Paste all code here from .js file -->
//]]>
</script>


Just in place of red line in above code what you have to do is just open the .js file (which you are asked to download or upload to your own server) in notepad or on your browser , copy its code and paste it in place of above red line.And your javascript codes are now ready which are now hosted on blogger itself instead of hosting to third party server.

Now you will face no bandwidth problems.If you still have any problem related to this tutorial just leave your comments.

How Auto Adjust Images Size In Blogger Posts


How Auto Adjust Images Size In Blogger Posts,yes friends many of us would be daily posting some images in there blogger posts or would have photo blogs and would be tired of giving the width and height to there post images again and again to adjust and look good in there blogs.And dont they think when they will switch to new template the width and height assigned to images in post can create problems for them.And many of blogs would be facing problems if they post images with width longer than post section and image would overlap the sidebar and if not overlapping then only part of the image in post section will be visible rest part hidden.So i will be telling you on how to auto adjust images size in blogger posts to suit your blog needs.

Now Please look at the pictures carefully to know what i am exactly talking about.

Suppose you have post section of width 500px and you post a picture of width 800px in the post without defining any width and height to it.Note if you uploading through blogger editor it automatically define width and height to image so will never face error in that.

The image would appear in post like below two methods.

1) As image width was 800px,Image width get shortened and will show up in post upto 500 px and rest 300px will be hidden.



2) Full Image is shown but overlap the sidebar.



But the proper way the image should be shown in blogger post should be like below.



So to make it correct i am making you learn this css property for your blog,if you are facing any of these problems.

As say you have an blog and want to show images of width equal to post section i.e you have post section of width 500px and you want to show images to autoadjust to that size in your post.For doing that just go to blogger Layout >> Edit/Html and add the below codes before ]]></b:skin> tag :-


.post img {
max-width:500px;
max-height:500px;
min-width:200px;
min-height:200px;
padding : 10px;
clear: both;
}



Just adjust the properties min-width,min-height and max-width and max-height.As after using above codes now in your post the image width and height will never get less than 200px and not more than 500px.So image size will always lie between 200-500px.If image size is less than 200px it will auto adjust to 200px and if more than 500px it will autoadjust to 500px.

Now if you wanna use all images in your posts of same height and width i.e mostly used by all photo blogs to show of all the images of same sizes.You can use below codes.


.post img {
width:500px;
height:400px;
padding:10px;
}


Now all the images of any size in post will appear to auto adjust to size of width 500px and height 400px.

**Note:- If not working properly , there might be image property defined in your template,just find for it and check it.Find for .post img tag to check it.
