In this widget , paste the contents of Widgets.txt file and Save. Now the Search Box , Menu and Social Media Buttons are installed.

Here Search for "Short" . Now remove this whole line and write a small bio about yourself that will be visible under each post. Replace the URL of the Image as well if you like

- Now search for "Stay Connected With Us" , now here change all your Social media URLs accordingly

- Now Search for "home_page" , this will show all the settings related to the Pagination option (Check here for explanation  )

- Now Search for "Your Tag Line" and replace it with your blog's mission or description

- Now Search for "thumbnail_mode" , this will display all the settings related to the Auto Read More Hack

Happy Blogging !

One piece of warning , Other than the Popular Post and Label Widget all the widgets like Blog Archive ,etc don't work . This is because the Deafult JS and CSS files of Blogger have been removed. On the Brighter side Your blog will open like a express train (given that you don't overcrowd it with widgets)

Hey its a very nice template..
Only 1 thing I want to know is that it has auto read-more hack but in the summary only text is coming so please tell me how to add images to it.

Hi Akshat

When you search for thumbnail_mode in the Edit HTML in the Template option in your Blogger Dashboard you will see this "no" - Here change no to yes

Unknown said...

Thanks,
Also one thing that if anybody comment, only the default image coming so how to change that setting like if I comment, my image will appear.
This is generally in all templates.

its Awesome I will install this template on my blog :)

Hi Akshat

This was the settings that was present in the Old Blogger Dashboard . It allowed you to choose whether to show or not show the commenters profile image. Currently this settings is not available in the New Interface. So in the old interface if you selected to show default images then that settings is continuing in the current interface and we have no control as of now.

The other reason why I switched to default images is because when you switch on the profile images , 512X512 image is served . With just a around 10-15 comments you will be wasting around 300KB+ of bandwidth. This is will badly effect in long run

How to disable profile image in blogger comment like you? Please help!

Hi Abu

As I told Akshat above , this setting is not currently available in the New Interface. It is continuing from the old interface , so which ever was your settings in the old one , it is continuing in the new interface. You have no control over it as of now

Hey can you please tell me how to hide gadgets on a particular page and how to increase the width of that page.

Lets say that you want to hide the sidebar in all your static pages ( /p/ )

Then add the following code before the </head>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>
<style>
.post-footer, .sidebar,.fauxcolumn-right-outer,.column-right-outer{display:none !important;}
.column-center-outer{width:95% !important;}
</style>
</b:if>

You can similarly use the other b:if tags as you like , refer to this URL for more information about them

Great template. Just two questions:
A- How to change the post background color say to #eeeeee
B- How to remove the "paper appearance" of the post body to make it look like this one right here. Because while it looks sleek on the main page, when visiting a label with a lot of posts it enlarges to the point where it sneaks behind the sidebar and distorts the smooth look of the template.
Thank you

Happy Blogging Pals....

I like the template and have been using it on my new blog. But I've ran into a snag. At the end of a post it will say "By Jesse Focht" and underneath it says "a short description about yourself." I can't figure out how to change the short description part to actually having a short description of myself. If I can't change that text how do I remove it?
