Shadow Blogger Template

Posted by Bhavika On Tuesday, May 31, 2011 3 comments

Shadow is a 2 column blogger template created by Best Theme. Its features include a huge slider with nice visual effects and dual menu bar.

The first horizontal navigation bar comes with a dropdown menu, below it you can add your blog title and also display an ad on the right. While the second menu bar shows social bookmarking icons linking to your respective account, and also includes an internal search box.

The main slider can be modified from Design--Edit Html, and look for this code -

<div id='slide'>
<img alt='#Title' class='slider_image wp-post-image' height='300' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Df816GBRK3g/TZb34xF1aUI/AAAAAAAAEvw/LTHbrE0Leug/s1600/Spiderman%252BWallpaper%252Bphotos%252Bimages%252Bstills%252Bpictures-4-960x300.jpg' title='#Title' width='960'/>
<a href='#Link'/>

<img alt='#Title' class='slider_image wp-post-image' height='300' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mvVFo9oMj_Q/TZb4NzZuqrI/AAAAAAAAEv4/Bq_ZJpzblF0/s1600/HortonHearsAWho534051_1280_960_1152x864-960x300.jpg' title='#Title' width='960'/>
<a href='#Link'/>

Simply change the image url, add your post links and title and save the changes. To display more slides, copy the above code and repeat the same steps. The image size should be 960x300.

The single sidebar can be utilised for placing sponsor ads, labels, archives etc. The template is available in different versions - Download the Shadow Blogger Template

Add Post Title to Read More Expandable Link

Display Post Title next to Read More Link

If you are using Blogger Jump Link or the Read More feature for your posts, then here is a simple customisation tip for you.

You can now add post title next to the 'Read More' text below each post. Go to Design--Edit Html, check on 'Expand widget templates' box and look for the below code -

<b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'>
<div class='jump-link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url + "#more"' expr:title='data:post.title'><data:post.jumpText/></a>
</div>
</b:if>

Replace it with the following code -

<a expr:href='data:post.url + "#more"' expr:title='data:post.title'><data:post.jumpText/> <data:post.title/></a>

Save the changes and you will see the post headline appear next to the 'Read More' text. In case you are not using Blogger's default Jump link feature and have incorporated 'Read More' code in Edit Html then replace it with the above code and save.

This simple change gives more weightage and prominence to your post. Feel free to contact us in case of any problem.
