Adding Google +1 Share Button in Blogger Templates


The Google +1 button is like a bookmark that you can share with your online friends. It's like a 'tagging' feature that lets you share interesting stuffs with your buddies. Some compare this with Facebook's 'Like' button. Click here to learn more about this button.

You can add this button to your posts, so that your readers can easily +1 your posts (yes, '+1' is the latest verb in town). In designer templates, this button will automatically show up (if your template is not messed up). But in some templates, like Minima for example, you need to add some lines into your template to make the button appear. Some of your designer templates might be missing the button too, and the fix in the tutorial will take care of it.

I am aware of other ways on how you can add the +1 button. The fix in this post is an alternative for those who prefer to work with HTML rather than Javascript. I've not tested it on heavily modded custom templates. Feel free to try it and let me know how it goes. It works well in fixing your designer templates (templates that you can find in Template Designer) and Layout templates (basically Blogger 'approved' templates.).

Removing Hyperlinks from Blogger Post Pictures

When you remove the hyperlink off an image from your post, your post image won't be clickable anymore, preventing readers from accessing the larger version of the image. The easy way to do this is by selecting the image on your Blogger post editor, and deselect the button that says 'Link' from your post editor toolbar. You have to do this one by one for each post.

Linked
De-linked
But, what if you've posted hundreds of images across hundreds of posts, and you always want the option to restore the hyperlink in the future? That's where this cool trick comes to play. Yeap, this is a CSS tweak, not an HTML one.
