Google Web Font in Blogger Dynamic View

Before
After
There are about 84 Google Web Fonts that you can readily select from your Template Designer to be used in your Template. On the other hand, there are about 600+ supported web fonts in Google Fonts library - and yes, there's a way to use them in your blog. Here's how:

Note: This method will also work for non-dynamic templates.

Step 1:

Go to Google Fonts and search for the font that you want to use. In my example, I'm going to search for 'Amatic SC'. In your search result, you should see three smaller buttons next to a big blue button that says 'Add to Collection'. You need to click on the middle button (Quick-use).


Step 2:

Now, scroll down to item '3. Add this code to your website', and copy the code shown.


This is what I've got:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Amatic+SC' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Next, go to your Blogger's Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Find for <head> - Paste the code that you've gotten directly below <head>.

Step 3:

Before clicking on 'Save Template', copy and paste '</link>' (without quotes) towards the end of the line that you've just pasted, as such:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Amatic+SC' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link>
You can now hit the 'Save Template' button.


Step 4:

Go back to the Google Font page and copy the CSS bit from '4. Integrate the fonts into your CSS':


Next, paste what you've copied, WITHOUT THE SEMI-COLON ';' AT THE END OF THE LINE into the box below, then click on 'Generate Code'.

Input the line that you've copied here:




Step 5:

Next, depending on what you want to change, copy one of the CSS codes below, and go to Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the whole code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.


a) To change Blog title font (Dynamic View)

#header.header .header-bar span.title a h1{
!important;
font-size: default !important;
}

b) To change post title font (Dynamic View)

.article-header h1.title a{
!important;
font-size: default !important;
}

c) To change body text font (Dynamic View)

body{
!important;
font-size: default !important;
}

d) To change link font (Dynamic View)

a, a:visited, a:hover{
!important;
font-size: default !important;
}

e) To change Description font (Dynamic View)

#header .header-bar .title h3{
!important;
font-size: default !important;
}

As usual, I can't possibly list down the code for all the sections here. So, if there's a particular section that you'd like to change and it hasn't been covered already, feel free to leave a comment, and I'll update the list accordingly.

  1. I'm having a problem - I've followed all the steps, and it's made no changes to my blog. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if there is some code in my blog keeping it from making these changes, because I've been running up against this over and over the last two days as I edit HTML or CSS. Everything goes in the right places, saved/applied...and then, nothing is changed. I mean, I'm not great at this stuff, so I'm sure the problem is on my end. Any advice or ideas?

      You seem to have four blogs. Which one should I be looking at? Also, what font were you using, and which font section were you trying to change?

  3. i wanted to use other fonts than the available in blogger but did not find the technical way this article helped me to insert my favourite fonts in blog.

  4. Thanks! This helped a lot! But how do I make the post title bigger after changing the font? The template designer doesn't seem to make any change at all.

    ReplyDelete
  5. What if the font you want is not listed here either? I want the 'Bebas Neue' font, and even though there are very similar fonts the difference can be seen when the fonts are placed side by side (my header title is this font). And how to I make the post title to appear all caps without having to actually write it with caps when posting?

    Thank you so much in advance! So many of your posts has helped me to tweak my layout just the way I want it!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. To change the font size, in my code above, change the attribute 'default' to say '30px' (without quotes).

      If the font isn't listed in Google Web Font, I'm afraid there isn't an easy way to apply it to Blogger. I've tried before several times, and I failed most of the times.

      To capitalize your post title, well, there is a trick. But I need to see your template first before suggesting anything constructive. Do you have a link I can look at?

      Delete
    2. My blog is currently under construction, since my layout is not complete yet. Here's a screenshot of the current look: http://i44.tinypic.com/2u94f8l.png. So the only problem left is how to make the title appear all caps.

      I tried changing 'default' to '11px' on the body font, but it doesn't change at all. And the customizing thing doesn't work either. I haven't found a way to change the post font at all, any help here?

      Delete
    3. Sorry for the late reply. Try changing to a number greater than 11px, like significantly greater, say 30px. BTW screenshots are of little use to me, as I need to inspect your site live with my developer tools to see what's going wrong, or to suggest anything constructive. Do you have a dummy blog (that is similar to your real blog) I can look at?

    1. I'm not sure if you're referring to the published comment font, or the font of the comment editor box (where people compose their comment before clicking on 'Publish'). The former can be done, the latter nope.

      I need to know the address of your blog, and the exact font type that you wanna use (I've got no clue what this font is called.. I only know Times New Roman)..

    or sidebar menu only showen rss feed back !
    i now finding for idea to load all dynamic view template load from external js(java script) & css
    OR change defualt loading template from http protocol to https protocol
    i hope u can help me to do this

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Sounds like you're over-analyzing things. Protocols are chosen at the server side, not the client - ie, you don't get to choose if you want to choose https, it depends whether or not Blogger wants to provide it, and it is very unlikely.

      That said, the problem you're facing is a common in Dynamic View templates. It happens when your Internet is not fast enough to fetch the contents of your DV blog. Try making your blog a little light - eradicate all the background, pictures, etc. Generally, get rid of anything that is heavy. And use a solid browser, like Google Chrome.

  14. Hello, I have been reading your posts and what you're doing is VERY much appriciated.

    Lately I am having trouble sharing my URL on facebook, sudenly thumbnails does NOT or STOPPED appearing on my status on facebook. Is there a CSS code we could put to avoid this? I dont wanna edit URL in every post I do on my blogger. Please help.

    1. Hi John,

      This isn't something CSS can fix. Since we're referring to thumbnails appearing in facebook, it sounds to me like this is a problem on Facebook's fetching mechanism (or it could be that something's off at Blogger's side that's failing Facebook's fetching mechanism). Either way, let's bring this discussion to the forum? It'll be easier for me to help your there. Go to Blogger Help Forum and create a discussion there, and let me know its link once it's published.

  15. Thank you Yoga! these days you are my "Dynamic Views's" Master ;))

    I don't know if I can ask you here two questions:

    1. If you could see my blog (http://libelulalilashop.blogspot.com.es)

    when you are at INICIO (home page) theres is no problem with header, but when you click on the other pages (secciones, contacto...) you can see a black line crossing the header's image, how can I remove this line?

    2. I've tried your code in order to remove frames, border, shadows from the photos (in the posts), and no one works...why?

    congrats for your web, it's great!

    1. Hi Victoria,

      Sorry for the late reply.

      1) Add this to your CSS:

      .viewitem-panel{
      border-top: 0px !important;
      }

      BTW, I could see a lot of repeating lines in your CSS. You might wanna tidy this up right now, while things are still under control. Make sure there's no duplicate for the same piece of code.

      2) Do you have a post link I could look at?

    - In terms of repetitions of code, I am unable to find them :((, I've looked at the CSS, and after a good dizzy, I left everything exactly the same for fear of making a big mistake

  18. Hi! I've asked you a question about my blog before and you were so helpful so thought I'd come back to your blog. So, this seems very simple but it's driving me crazy because I can't figure it out. I want to change the font of my posts. It's set to "crafty girl" now and I want to change it to "Indie Flower." I've tried to change it under template, customize, and post font but it's not working.

  19. Hi,
    Thanks so much for your reply. I followed the steps above exactly (thanks for making it so easy to follow!) but unfortunately, it didn't work. When editing the html and adding in the line where you said to, I get an error once I add the code for link to the end of the line.

    The error reads: Error parsing XML, line 5, column 106: The element type "head" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "head."

    I went ahead and did it without "link" at the end of the line, added in the CSS code but it didn't work. I'm going to delete the line I added in html, for the meantime, in case it screws things up.

    Suggestions? I appreciate your help SO much. Thanks again for your GREAT blog!

    3. Hello Ralph,

      1) Title font cannot be changed individualy on each post. But to set a generic rule for all of them, use this:

      .tile .banner .title{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 40px !important;
      }

      2) In Step 5, instead of adding the code in your Add Css box, you need to rather add it on your individual page's HTML section, as follows:

      <style>
      body{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 40px !important;
      }
      </style>

      Delete
  36. I tried the steps you listed to change my post title font to Lovers Quarrel. I also added this bit that you listed in a comment above:

    .article-header h1.title a{
    font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
    font-size: default !important;
    }

    .title.entry-title a{
    font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
    }

    The font shows properly in the preview pane underneath the "Add CSS" section. But when I actually view the blog, it's a different font entirely! Not the default, not Lovers Quarrel. Any idea where I went wrong?

      I've now run into a new problem I'm hoping you can help me with. The font that I chose, Lovers Quarrel, tends to display small. I've changed the code from my previous post to:

      .article-header h1.title a{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 48px !important;
      }

      .title.entry-title a{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 30px !important; <----problem!
      }

      The 48px font looks great in the individual post. But changing the font size there does not make the font larger on the Magazine style page (my default). I tried adding the 30px to the second chunk of code to change the font on the Magazine. The problem is, the Magazine style uses one size font for the most recent entry, and shrinks the font for the older entries. If I specify 30px, however, those older entries are also 30px and they look too big. Is there a way to specify a relative font size instead of a hard number? Where before it said "default", is there a way to say "slightly bigger than default?" Something like size:large or size:+2... so it knows to make the font bigger than default, but still allows it the freedom to have a bigger size on the recent post and smaller size on the older posts?

      I hope that made sense.

      I'm going to remove the 30px line of code for now because it looks silly.

      Thanks!

    3. Hello Lori,

      You can use % instead of px to make it bigger relatively. Like 140% or so. Alternatively, I prefer to have separate codes for the two of them. The following will set 60px for the first post and 40px for the others:

      #lead .title.entry-title a{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 60px !important;
      }

      #feature .title.entry-title a, #fold .title.entry-title a{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 40px !important;
      }

      Delete
    4. That worked. Thanks!

      How do you know what all the various things are called? Like #lead .title.entry-title vs #feature and #fold?

    5. I don't. I just inspect the page whenever needed :)

    1. Hello,

      Were you referring to the title of each post on Magazine view? I'm afraid you can't change them individually, but there are three main groups you can change - the most recent post, and the 4-5 posts, below it, and the rest. Here's how:

      .magazine #lead .title.entry-title a{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 60px !important;
      }

      .magazine #feature .title.entry-title a{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 40px !important;
      }

      .magazine #fold .title.entry-title a{
      font-family: 'Lovers Quarrel', cursive !important;
      font-size: 40px !important;
      }

    1. Hello Ana,

      I'm seeing lots of foreign formats in your post's HTML. These foreign styles are overpowering your default CSS.. I'm thinking this must have gotten copied from somewhere.. Did you compose the post in say Ms Word first before transferring to your blog?

      The post that I looked into:

    2. Hi Yoga! Thanks for your reply

      You are right! I compose my post in Word first before transferring to my blog, how can I correct this? What do you suggest?

      I really appreciate all your help, I am pretty new at this.

    3. Hello Ana,

      You could edit your post - select all your content - and click on the 'Remove Formatting' icon from your Editor's toolbar. It looks like a 'T' with a small 'x' next to it.

  41. Hello there Yoga,

    Sorry for bugging you again. I have successfuly changed the fonts on my blog per your instructions, but I have noticed that the mobile preview in my template page is not showing my blog properly. I then confirmed this on a smartphone.

    I'm not sure if this is due to the fonts I choose (Merriweather Sans and Ubuntu) or if I did something on my CSS or HTML code that affected the mobile view negatively... Do you have any clue about what it might be?
    My blog: laminafiada.blogspot.pt

    Thanks in advance.

  42. Oh, by the way... and this might be related, but I'm nt sure...

    I tried several fonts before settling for Merriweather Sans and Ubuntu. Sometimes, after I added the HTML code and added the 'link' bit at the end of the line as you instruct, when I tried to save it showed me an error. I can't remember exactly what it said but I think it was along the lines of the 'head' tag or 'link' tag not being closed properly or something like that... Sometimes I had to remove the 'link' bit to successfully save the HTML code. Not sure if this could be related to the deficient mobile view...

    1. Hello Carl,

      The errors were nothing to be concerned off - they just show how Blogger's HTML editor fail to recognise closing and opening tags. In any case, mods made in the actual blog will not be carried forward to your mobile template. Worse - there is NO actual way to do any kind of mods for mobile templates. What issues are you seeing exactly on your mobile template? Here's the mobile template's URL that you can open on your desktop browser.

  43. How do I change the color/colors of text offered in dynamic views while typing up a post. Fir example, if I don't like the standard blue and would like to add a different Hex Color?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thank you for the reply Yoga. Your clarification abut the HTML editor leaves me less worried. I have solved the mobile view issue and found out that it had nothing to do with the fonts after all. I simply had messed up the mobile template itself and forgot to change it back. Silly me... All well now, thanks!

    1. The title should already be in the center by default. Is this not the case for you?

  46. Hi, Yoga

    This is the only one of your tutorials I can't do it.

    The html is not admitted and I receive the message:
    Error al analizar XML, lĂ­nea 5, columna 103: The element type "head" must be terminated by the matching end-tag

    So, I do the rest of the steps in the CSS but my blog title font, my link font or my description font don't change to "Luckiest Guy"

    Thanks for your help.
