Adding Author Name Below Post Title in Blogger Dynamic View

Before
After
By default, author names appear at the bottom of your posts.. It says something like 'Posted 3 weeks ago by Yoga'. Given Dynamic View template's stylish design, it'd be more classy if the author name appears at top, below the post title. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion of course, but if you want your author name to appear below your post title, and remove the author name from the 'Posted 3 weeks ago' part, this post is just for you. This is a respond to Blog Reader Berk Efe Altinal.

Adding Label Name next to Blogger Post Title

Before
After
Post titles are usually located on top of your posts, and you can choose to show your post's labels at the bottom of you posts. Typically, you use label to categorize a post. For example, you'd use the label 'Books' to tell your readers that that particular post is about books, and 'Cooking' to indicate that it is a post related to cooking. Wouldn't it be cool if you could have your label automatically appear next to your post title, to allow your readers to distinguish which category your posts belong to? This blog post is a respond to Blog Readers Jelena Dimić and Euronomist.

Note: This is not a Dynamic View tutorial, as such it won't work with Dynamic View templates.

Semi-transparent Post Background in Blogger Dynamic View

Before
After
Several months ago, I've shared a set of code that allows you to customize your Dynamic View posts' background. The tweak was written in a generic note, which allows the code to be changed to fit users' different background preferences.. However, if you're looking for ways to change Dynamic View default post backgrounds to a semi-transparent background, the previous post isn't gonna help much - thus the reason for this week's post. To put simply, this week's tutorial allows you to transform your default post background (plain ol' white) to a slightly transparent version of itself - letting your beautiful background to be seen through your posts.
