RELATED POSTS WIDGET FOR BLOGGER

Steps for Implementation:

1.Go to Layout >Edit HTML in your Blogger Dashboard.

2.Back up your existing Template before making any changes!

3.Make sure to check the "Expand Widget Templates" box.

4.Search for the </HEAD> tag.

5.Add the following code just before the tag.


<style>
#related-posts {
float : left;
width : 540px;
margin-top:20px;
margin-left : 5px;
margin-bottom:20px;
font : 11px Verdana;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
#related-posts .widget {
list-style-type : none;
margin : 5px 0 5px 0;
padding : 0;
}
#related-posts .widget h2, #related-posts h2 {
font-size : 20px;
font-weight : normal;
margin : 5px 7px 0;
padding : 0 0 5px;
}
#related-posts a {
text-decoration : none;
}
#related-posts a:hover {
text-decoration : none;
}
#related-posts ul {
border : medium none;
margin : 10px;
padding : 0;
}
#related-posts ul li {
display : block;
background : url("https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp51Gbt0Z2UZ3bxjo19ACcCFVh9tVIoaBUNqeKbxkW30oEzC7PY4jPWXv1dmw3YZIfNKsO7m3jVv2t4c0Vp74AwdG1Ei3Gl4TZ2KUpVc0MyZEcnbcuk-qxyVzW5r6XV-kwRmMQEoxc56M/") no-repeat 0 0;
margin : 0;
padding-top : 0;
padding-right : 0;
padding-bottom : 1px;
padding-left : 21px;
margin-bottom : 5px;
line-height : 2em;
border-bottom:1px dotted #cccccc;
}
</style>
<script src='http://bsaves.com/scripts/Related_posts_hack.js' type='text/javascript'/>

6.Now search for <p><data:post.body/></p>

In some of the templates this code may look like this <div class='post-body>

Add the following code just beneath the code you just searched for.



<b:if cond=" pagetype="=">
<div id="related-posts">
<font " related="" posts="" font="" loop="" values="data:post.labels" var="label" name="" if="" cond="data:label.isLast != "true"">
<script expr:src='"/feeds/posts/default/-/" + data:label.name + "?alt=json-in-script&callback=related_results_labels&max-results=5"' type='text/javascript'/></b:if></b:loop> </font>
<script type='text/javascript'> removeRelatedDuplicates(); printRelatedLabels();
</script>
</div></b:if>

8.Now Save your Template and you're done!
