Changing Blogger Header Image Link

If you choose to either place your header image 'Instead of title and description' or 'Have description placed after the image' while uploading your header image to Blogger, your image will have a link on it. The link acts like a home button, as it brings you to your main page. However, some prefer to have it pointing elsewhere, to a private website for example. In this tutorial, I will show how you can quickly change the target destination of this link.

Getting the Best Responses from Blogger Help Forum

http://www.southernspeakers.net/2010/12/getting-best-responses-from-blogger.html


Blogger Help Forum is a place where you can shoot your various Blogger-related questions, and kind helpers will help you out to resolve issues that you are facing. However, many questions are still left unanswered - and one can hardly blame the helpers for this. As an asker, it is your responsibility to make sure your questions get attended. If your question is not answered, you have yourself to blame. Either that or no-one knows the answer to your question. In this post, I will list out as many tips that I can think of to help you get the best possible responses from the helpers at Blogger Help Forum.

Adding a Third Party Gadget

This one is for beginners. Advanced users, please ignore this post. Lot's of users are having trouble in placing third party widgets. You can't blame them, Blogger is not user friendly when it comes to this. To add a third party gadget, you ought to use the HTML/Javascript gadget. But this is not readily known. If I were a non-technical person, I wouldn't have any idea what a HTML/Javascript gadget is. In Blogger Help Forum, I have captured dozens of screen shots to pin-point exactly where the HTML/Javacript gadget is. With this post, I hope I won't be capturing anymore screenshots.

Show Date for Each Blogger Post

I tried to figure this one out a long time ago but I had no luck back then. Today I've found a way. When you publish more than a post for a given day, only the most recent post (last post) will have it's date shown. Moreover, certain templates (like Awesome Inc) make it worse by grouping all these posts together as though they are all one single post. Although it makes sense to group posts published on the same day under a single category, lot's of users prefer to have the date shown on each post separately.

UPDATE:

I've improvised this tutorial by adding some Javascript. The timestamp does not have to be sacrificed anymore. Check out the new improvised tutorial below:

Adding Buttons to Blogger Header

It isn't possible to directly add a button to your header. There isn't such feature in Blogger. But there's a workaround. Using CSS 'position' and 'z-index' attributes, you can place an image (button) on top of your header and make it clickable. Check out a live demo here:
