Again here with a cool blogger hack.You read earlier about adding Digg button to your post. So i thought how can i be so rude at reddit since both sites work similar and reddit also provides traffic as same as digg. So this post is dedicated about adding reddit button in your blog. If you are not familiar to reddit and not clear about its benefit for your blog then you can visit Reddit homepage.

Its not hard to add reddit button to your post so that the post can be added to reddit by the readers. Its just some alter of codes like adding digg button and you got it. Ok lets start, first goto Edit HTML section of your Layout and also click Expand widget Templates. Now, search for
<data:post.body/>
Now if you want to put your reddit button on the top right then replace the above code with this one.

<div style='float:left; margin-right:10px;'>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.reddit.com/button.js?t=2"></script>
</div>
<data:post.body/>

You can also keep the reddit button on the top right section by relacing the
<data:post.body/> by the code given below.

<div style='float:right; margin-right:10px;'>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.reddit.com/button.js?t=2"></script>
</div>
<data:post.body/>

You can keep experimenting with codes to keep it in some more parts of the blog. Anyway, if you liked this then i hope a comment from you.


I used to think if creating sticky post for blogger was that tough work. But thanks to eHow.com which helped me knowing that i was really an idiot to think such. Creating sticky post is really very very easy and its like adding a new page element ob blog. In fact, it is adding a new page element on blog.Sorry, oh you are asking about sticky post? Ok it is that post which always appears when your blog opens just above each post. Confusing? Well, that was the best definition i could give.

To create a sticky post, goto Page Elements section and then click on add a new page element. Now click on HTML/javascript and write what you need to announce or say. After you are done, save it and drag newly written HTML/Javascript item to the blog posts section. Now save and enjoy your sticky post.
If this post was good then read also Adding Digg Bottom in your post and Make your links tweak in blogger!

This is my second blogger hack on making things tweak in blogger. Before i wrote a post on making images tweak on blogger. Then i thought if i could try making links too Tweak when mouse is placed on it. I tried and i did it. Here is rest on how to make your links tweak in blogger.

Its same like making images tweak. Just editing a hover code and we are done. First, go to your Edit HTML section of your Layout and search for the following code:

a:hover {
text-decoration:underline;
}

Now replace the code with the code given below:

a:hover {
position: relative;
bottom: 5px;
left: 1px;
color:#000000;
}

Now save the template and look at your page, the links tweaked man.

You can change the color of your link to your desired color when it tweaks. Also you can set your own parameters for your tweaking image by editing top and left pixels.
If you got any problems the just leave the comment and i will catch you.

I hope you enjoyed this post the try other blogger hacks like Control number of posts displayed in label page and Remove newer post and older post link from your blog.

}

#blog-pager-older-link {

}

#blog-pager {
text-align: center;
}

Now replace that code with the following code:

#blog-pager-newer-link {
display: none;
}

#blog-pager-older-link {
display: none;
}

#blog-pager {
display: none;
}

Time for another blogger hack guys. This time i am with the shortest blogger hack ever so i thought to make you bore with long description as it may help my post look longer. Anyway, i am not sure where i read this blogger hack so i have nobody to refer hence think as i discovered this blogger hack. This blogger hack is about hiding the unnecessary Subscribe to:Posts(atom)

Well, let me start with same old lines, goto Dashboard then to Layout and then to Edit HTMl and click on Expand widget templates. Now search for the following code:

<div class='blog-feeds'>

Now replace that line with the following line of code below:


<div class='blog-feeds' style='display:none;'>

Now save the template, reload the page and thank me! I think now you will not see that useless line anymore.

Back again with a blogger hack and this time with a coolest thing. You can see 'Show Table of contents' section in my blog now where all my table of contents will be loaded with one click. You can try it just to see what table of content looks like if you haven't seen it earlier. Well before starting to write about this blogger hack, i want to remember Hans of beautifulbeta who created this blogger hack as far as i know. Well, i am deriving his codes and hacks but i am trying to write in a much simpler way then him. So here is the process to create a Table of contents in your blog.

Table of contents helps your readers to find your posts easily. Just add some codes and all your posts are one click away from your readers.
Goto blogger 'Edit HTMl' page and search for the code <b:section> with id=main. This is the section which held blog posts. Now replace that line with the following code.

<b:section class='main' id='main' maxwidgets='2' showaddelement='yes'>

Now add the following CSS code to the head section of your template. This code is for the style of your table of contents. You can change this code according to your choice. The best place to add this code is just above ]]></b:skin> I am saying this place now because i was really confused about at which place of the head section should i put this code when i was creating my own Table of contents.


<style type="text/css">
#toc {
border: 0px solid #000000;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 5px;
width:500px;
margin-top:10px;
}
.toc-header-col1, .toc-header-col2, .toc-header-col3 {
background: #ffd595;
color: #000000;
padding-left: 5px;
width:250px;
}
.toc-header-col2 {
width:75px;
}.toc-header-col3 {
width:125px;
}
.toc-header-col1 a:link, .toc-header-col1 a:visited, .toc-header-col2 a:link, .toc-header-col2 a:visited, .toc-header-col3 a:link, .toc-header-col3 a:visited {
font-size:80%;
text-decoration:none;
}
.toc-header-col1 a:hover, .toc-header-col2 a:hover, .toc-header-col3 a:hover {
font-size:80%;
text-decoration:underline;
}
.toc-entry-col1, .toc-entry-col2, .toc-entry-col3 {
padding-left: 5px;
font-size:70%;
}
</style>

Now you are done with 'edit HTML' page. Now save the template and go to 'page elements' section.
Now click on 'add a page element' and then click on 'HTML/Javascript'. Now paste the code there leaving title blank.

<div id="toc"></div>

Now do the final step. Again add a new page element and click on HTML/javascript. Now paste the code there and keep the title 'Table of contents'.

<div id="toclink"><a href="javascript:showToc();">Show TOC</a><br/><br/></div>
<script style="text/javascript" src="http://home.planet.nl/~hansoosting/downloads/blogtoc.js"></script>
<script src="http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&max-results=999&callback=loadtoc"></script>

Change YOURBLOG with your own name and congratulate yourself for making your own table of contents.
This was todays blogger hack on creating table of contents. You can also try other blogger hacks like Adding Yahoo! emotion on your blog post or making your images tweak on blogger.

Another blogger hack is here so i hope you are ready to welcome it with a drumroll. This tutorial is about creating float images that will always show on your blogs corner although you drag side scroll bar. See the example of floating image (The RSS image is used as floating image there). You can out anything on your blogs corner as your floating image, your dog, your own picture or anything. So here is the step by step tutorial on creating floating images on blog.

Step 1: Login to blogger dashboard then goto 'layout' and 'Edit HTML'

Search for ]]></b:skin> code and put the code below just above that code.

#float_corner {
position:fixed;_position:absolute;bottom:0px;left:0px;clip:
inherit;_top:expression(document.documentElement.scrollTop+document.documentElement.clientHeight-this.clientHeight);_left:expression(document.documentElement.scrollLeft + document.documentElement.clientWidth - offsetWidth);}

The bold text in the code is its position, you can keep it top or right or left anything as your choice.

Step 2: Now put the code below before </body> tag.

<div id="float_corner">

<a href="http://bloggingshits.blogspot.com"> <img src="

http://rabinsmith.googlepages.com/rss.png" border="0" /></a>

</div>

Here, "http://bloggingshits.blogspot.com/" is a link. And
"http://rabinsmith.googlepages.com/rss.png" is image url. You should change these with your own link and image url.

Now save and preview your blog. And if it worked then can i be blessed with a backlink to this post? Thank you so much, that was so kind of you.
If this blogger hack was helpful then you can try Adding Digg buttom to your posts!

Time for another blogger hack. And this time its not about expandable sidebar or adding social bookmarking widget, its about your emotion. Yeah, we are dealing with adding Yahoo emotion on your blog post section. Yahoo emotion? Yes, its true. Can't post your own emotion so took a help from yahoo. So here's how we make this blogger hack happen.

Adding Yahoo emotion in your blog post section is really easy, as easy as . Its just a matter of few HTML and what you gotta do is follow the instructions below. Oh wait, i forgot first make sure that you are using Mozilla firefox as you cannot move a step ahead if you are not using it.

Step 4
Now copy the following code just above the code in step 3.

img.emoticon { padding: 0;
margin: 0; border: 0; }
Step 5

This blogger hack is not that hard to implement. It is just the game of few codes and you are done. So lets go to the point on how to create Drop Down labels. Firstly go to 'Layout' then to 'Edit HTML' and click on the 'Expand widget template' checkbox. i am again repeating the same boring thing 'Please download your full template first'. Okay, so are we done till this step? Okay then let's move forward.
Now look for the following code in your template

<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>

<a expr:href='data:label.url'><data:label.name/></a>
</b:if>
(<data:label.count/>)
</li>
</b:loop>
</ul>


<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>

</b:widget>



Now, replace the code above in blue with following code.

<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>

This was todays blogger hack. If you will use this hack then i hope a free backlink from you.

Sometimes you feel so low that you don't like to write a post about new blogger hack nor you like to keep sticking on mybloglog to see your traffic stats. It's a time to explore something and guys i am out with my untied seatbelt to travel the wild blogosphere. While exploring the blogosphere i went through a personal cum technical wordpress blog of Hari and here i am writing about it.

A black background with orange post background color and white colored links is what Aspiring entrepreneur blog is made off. I don't know why he calls his blog Aspiring entrepreneur but forget that because till now i don't know why i am calling my blog Third world chaos. College, education, free downloads are some of the categories covered by this blog and that too in a cool way. This was todays post about Aspiring entrepreneur and if you love to read personal blog then you can go for this blog.

In this todays post, we are talking about creating drop down menu. For your idea, a drop down menu is the menu THAT DROPS DOWN! Oh, this was the worst definition you may have heard about drop down menu but what can i do? This is the best i can give.

It's not hard to create a drop down menu, its just a trick or lets say hack. What you gotta do is just copy the code given below and put it in your page elements.

<select onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].
<option value="0" selected>Blog Archive</option>
<option value="Links 1">Text 1</option>
<option value="Links 2">Text 2</option>
</select>

The Green text you see their is of your links.So CHNAGE it with your links.
The Blue text you see their is your Anchor text. So change it with your anchor text too.
Time for an example:

This is the code i used to create the Drop down menu you can see in my sidebar.

<select onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex]
<option value="0" selected>Blogger Hacks</option>
<option value="http://thirdworldchaos.blogspot.com/2008/05/blogger-hack-add-digg-button-to-your.html">Add
Digg button on your post</option>
<option value="http://thirdworldchaos.blogspot.com/2008/05/blogger-hack-dont-let-anybody-copy-your.html">Disable
Right click on your blog</option>
</select>

If you want to add more value then you can put a code like below.

<option value="Links 3">Text 3</option>
before this code </select>

If you want the links to be opened in new window then replace below code:

<select onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].


With this code:

<select onchange="javascript:window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].

I think now you too are rushing to create a drop down menu like yours. So if you are doing it then can i get a link please.

I am still unaware about the definition of blogger hack. In my sinple and innocent( he he) sense i think every thing related to the blogger codes may be called blogger hack. Was that wrong? Thank you smartass, leave your comment below about it then. Okay now lest go to the topic. today we are adding digg button on our post. And its easy to do that. Digg button on our post? Well, the button under my post title may help you.

This blogger hack(i said it, again) is not hard to implement. A digg button under your post in the way like my blog is just a few clicks away. So let's go step by step.
Step 1
I am making you bored again. Please download your full template so that you can have it like now. For that go to 'Dashboard' and then to 'Layout' and then to 'edit HTML'.
Step 2
Okay, i guess now you are on 'Edit HTML' section and have already backed your template up. Dont forget to click on 'Expand widget Templates' checkbox. Now search for this code
<p><data:post.body/></p>
If you want to put your botton on the top left like mine then replace the above code with this.
<div style='float:left; margin-right:10px;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
digg_url="<data:post.url/>";
</script>
<script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</div>
<p><data:post.body/></p>

But if you want to keep it at the top right corner of the page then replace with this code:
<div style='float:right; margin-left:10px;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
digg_url="<data:post.url/>";
</script>
<script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</div>
<p><data:post.body/></p>

You can keep experimenting with the codes to keep it on other parts of the blog too. If this post about Digg was good then please Digg me!

This blogger hack is useful, this blogger hack is cool and the best thing is this blogger hack is so easy to implement. Gentleman, welcome to the post dedicated on showing recent comments in sidebar.

Showing recent comments in sidebar is not a hard thing to do. Its just a game of code. So without delay i am onto game. To show recent5 comments on sidebar, you should copy the following codes in red and stick it in the template. After you save it, see your recent comments on sidebar.

<MainPage>
<h2 class="sidebar-title">Recent Comments</h2>
<ul>
<Blogger>
<BlogItemCommentsEnabled>
<BlogItemComments>

<li><$BlogCommentAuthor$> //
<a href="<$BlogCommentPermalinkURL$>">
<$BlogCommentDateTime$></a></li>

</BlogItemComments>
</BlogItemCommentsEnabled>
</Blogger>
</ul>
</MainPage>

So here is todays blohher hack. The usability or taste of using border depends on person. Personally, i don't like borders but as i said it depends on person and their taste. But this blogger hack post is just to make you know that it is so easy to remove borders in very short time. So you can use borders as long as you like and after you hate it, follow this post!

This may be the easiest blogger hack you find on this blog. To remove borders from header and images, go to 'Layout' and then to 'Edit HTMl'. From that search for the word "border" in the codes and delete it. You delete each and every "border" and you are done. The above image may help you in understanding this post more easily.

A question first. Do you love your content to a extent that you don't want anybody to copy it and paste it in their blog? Or are you strictly against plagiarism? If your answer is yes then this blogger hack is for you. This blogger hacks disable any right click on your content so that some newbie thief can't copy your content. Did i said newbie? Yes only newbie can be blocked from copying your content because professional thief will copy your content anyway.

Not many bloggers use this blogger hack to disable right click on their post content. I too havent done that as i am confident that nobody has faced such a bad day to copy this shit. He he. I am safe. Okay so lets cut the crap and go to blogger hack directly. What you gotta do to implement this is firstly goto 'Layout' and then click on 'Edit HTML'. Now find <body> code and replace it with the code given below.
<body onmousedown="return false" oncontextmenu="return false" onselectstart="return false">

Now save the template and you are done. Dont forget to see other blogger hacks too on the related posts.

I am not sure why people use this blogger hack. I have never used it after all who wants to hide their name as the author of the blog. But this blogger hack is really useful for the ones who want to keep their blog clean in fact very clean by removing all the post date, time and name of author. So if you too belong to the same category then this blogger hack is for you.

First thing first, go to 'layout' and then to 'Edit HTML'. Don't forget to check 'Expand widget templates'.

Hide Post date
To hide the post date, find the code below and delete it.
<data:post.dateHeader/>

Hide Post time

<a class='timestamp-link' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark'
title='permanent link'><abbr class='published'
expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</span>
