If you're using Simple, Ethereal or Travel template, this tutorial will not be any good to you as these templates don't have corners for the post sections at all.
If you're using the old Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - Back Up (Download Full Template) -
If you're using the new Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Template - Backup/Restore - Download Full Template - Close - Edit HTML - Proceed -
Find for /* Posts ----------------------------------------------- */ - paste the following code directly below this line:
The code in place:
To adjust the radius of the corner, change the values 10px above to something else (all four of them).
Some of you might be wondering what will happen if you add this code directly in Template Designer (Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS). You can still do that, but your corners won't be rounded in Internet Explorer. Even with the method that I've shown above, you can only get rounded corner for the top two corners in IE. That's just the way IE works, don't ask me why.

That's all folks. Again, Happy Easter. Cheers!
Thanks very much.
ReplyDeleteYou're genius is appreciated !!
Happy Easter :)
@dirtycowgirl: You're welcome. Happy Easter to you too. Cheers and God bless.
ReplyDeleteThanks Buddy :)
ReplyDelete@Usman: You're welcome mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks! This post (and countless others) help me (and countless others) a lot. Cheers!
ReplyDelete@USE SUNBLOCK: Glad you find it that way. You're welcome mate. Cheers and God bless.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.>!! :)
ReplyDelete@Bluetricks: Thanks. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI added rounded corners to my blog awhile back, now that I've added a border to the main post, I want to remove them. However, the code is no longer visible under CSS. Even when I go into the edit code, removing this code messes up the whole layout spacing. I even tried changing it 1px and 0px... nothing changed. Using Firefox and Simple (new blogger). Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
ReplyDelete@mhsands: Sorry for my late reply. I have been away for a couple of days. If you have gotten the rounded corners after following the tutorial in this post, you can remove them by going to Add CSS in template designer. If you can't see the code there, then go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - find for the code that you've added, and delete them. This is the code that you would have added, and thus this is the code that you should remove:
ReplyDelete.date-outer, .post-outer {
-moz-border-radius: 10px !important;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px !important;
-goog-ms-border-radius: 10px !important;
border-radius: 10px !important;
}
If you can't see this code in your template, that means you've gotten your rounded corners from elsewhere, and not from the tutorial in this post. If this is the case, send your template over to me, and I will have a look for you. Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - Download Full Template - Save the resulting xml file somewhere in your computer. Then go to www.rapidshare.com and upload your xml file there. You will be given a link. Use the contact form and give me the link to your template.
Cheers and God bless.
Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteAnd how to add the rounded corners to the sidebar, footer, widgets...?
Cheers
@Fabio: Thought you'd ask. Check this page out:
ReplyDeleteRounded Corners for Blogger Widgets
Cheers and God bless.
This is not working for me for some reason....but my blog doesn't have the "body . main-inner .Blog" portion either.....you do think this is the reason the rounded corners are not working? Thank you in advance!
ReplyDelete@Bambino Amore: This tweak should work in all Blogger 'built-in' templates. I need to have a look at your blog to tell what's wrong. What's your blog's address?
ReplyDeletehey i am using blogger built in simple template and i am not able to get this into work please help me.
ReplyDeleteHey there.. What's your blog's address? Let's see if we can get it to your blog..
DeleteNot working for me :(
ReplyDelete"If you're using Simple, Ethereal or Travel template, this tutorial will not be any good to you as these templates don't have corners for the post sections at all."
DeleteIn any case, what is your blog's address?
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteHow do I make rounded corners for the main area of my page, instead of for individual posts?
Thank you for your tips !!!!
L
That depends. I need to have a look at your template. What's your blog's address?
DeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with the top two corners of my blog posts. I can get the bottom two rounded, but the top two refuse! Any help? My blog address is jellybeansanddeath.blogspot.com
thank you in advance! It's driving me up the wall!!!
Hi Shereebedee,
DeleteTry this:
.date-outer, .post-outer, .date-header {
-moz-border-radius: 10px !important;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px !important;
-goog-ms-border-radius: 10px !important;
border-radius: 10px !important;
}

Is there a way to give the comments rounded corners, and also give them a filled background, and then also keep MOD comments a little different too?
ReplyDeleteLike individual comments appearing in bubbles kinda look.
Hi Soggy,
DeleteGo to Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
.comment-block{
-moz-border-radius: 30px !important;
-webkit-border-radius: 30px !important;
-goog-ms-border-radius: 30px !important;
border-radius: 30px !important;
}
It will be applied to all comments, including that of authors.
Cool, that worked fine (Kinda)
ReplyDeleteCan I also have those normal users' comments have a colored border and a background color?
Because right now, the only way I see the rounding working is on the highlighted MOD comments. :)
Oh wait, nvm.
ReplyDeleteFigured it out, I just used the same .ccs styles as you would usually.
I added the background color, a border and some padding.
Worked perfectly, I also added !important on the ends of each, dunno what that does but it works!
Heh heh, I'm learning! Intuition ftw!
Oh wait, I worked that out too XD
ReplyDeleteSomething about overriding the base HTML I presume, cause when I added the background-color, it replaced the MOD comment's color.
Awesome, sussed!
Sorry for the comments spamage :D
You've learnt lots of things in a single day! Yea, the !important tag is to override previous definitions. Say you have two CSS codes in your template, addressing the same thing, but they both conflict with each other. Usually, the code that comes after will take precedence. But sometimes, this isn't the case. We use the !important tag to tell the document the code with !important should be the default setting, and ignore other settings, if there is any.
DeleteI wasn't sure where to post this, but I figured my last question would be good enough.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of my colleagues and myself I would like to thank you for all you support and tutelage. I think I've achieved everything we wanted... So far. But if there's any other things we need I know where to look.
But for now I think that's it. And again, this blog has been SO helpful in the realisation of all the little functions I wanted out blog to have in the first place.
Thanks a bunch,
Soggy
That's sweet. Thanks mate :) Happy bloggin.. Cheers..
DeleteThis is great but how can I just round uploaded pictures?? Is that possible without throwing each one into Photoshop first?
ReplyDeleteKimberly
Hi Kim,
DeleteYeah it is possible. Go to Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
.post img{
-moz-border-radius: 20px !important;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px !important;
-goog-ms-border-radius: 20px !important;
border-radius: 20px !important;
}
Thanks, but I can't get it to work... suggestions?
ReplyDeleteKimberly
Your pictures have rounded corners now:
DeleteScreenshot
Is this not what you were going for?
Hey!
ReplyDeleteI tried to search a reason, why I can't edit my html of my blog. I just changed it to dynamic views. Do you know why I can't edit it?
janinastyle.blogspot.com
I do actually. You can't edit your HTML because Blogger doesn't want you to edit it. I happen to know a way to edit it, but it's very dangerous as it will (not 'might'!) prevent you from getting future updates. Why are you trying to edit it anyway?
DeleteThank you so much m8.
ReplyDeleteI finally managed to round everything in my blog including the gadgets too LOL
Fantastic advice, bookmarked and respect!
;)
Remarks truly appreciated :) Hope you enjoy your stay here :)
DeleteReally helpful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! :)
DeleteCheerss..
this code corrupts the mobile template if using awesome
ReplyDeleteupdate: it reverts the mobile template to basic, but you can turn it back to awesome afterwards. I guess it does this whichever template you're using
ReplyDeleteThis code won't affect how your blog looks like in your mobile. To change your mobile template settings, go to Dashboard - Template - The gear icon below mobile preview.
DeleteCheers.
I have a video template on my website I want to enhance the colour and style of it and I was able to achieve my goal! now it is looking cool to me. But my question is every widget I will add it will leave plenty of space before the other widget to display. I want to remove the gap. Can you check my site? www.lambingan.net look from the header image next is a big space then my menu then big space again then before to show the next widget.
ReplyDeleteI hope u will able to assist me.
Thanks
Hi Charm,
DeleteThis should work. Using Internet Explorer, Go to Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
#mbt-menu{
margin: 10px 0px !important;
}
Cheers!
