Adding HTML Codes and Scripts in Blogger Posts

Blogger post will respond to the scripts and html codes written in posts. so it needs to be converted so as to look like this (the code is not image), so that it will be easy for all to copy the code.

It needs to be encoded to put it in blogger post. The easy way will be to visit http://centricle.com/tools/html-entities/  and paste the html code and click on encode which will give out the needed html version of code, which can be paste in blogger post like normal text but will appear in code while published.

Creating Table of Contents in Blogger Easy Way

Here is a piece of code which will easily make a table of content for you. Now since blogger has already built up the new page system, we can create a new page like i did for TOC.

code goes like this:

<script style="text/javascript" src="http://www.yourjavascript.com/1030112252/blogtoc.js"></script>
<script src="http://mypracticelab.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?max-results=9999&alt=json-in-script&callback=loadtoc"></script>

note: you can change the the blog name (in red) with yours.

How to Create Static Pages in Blogger

(For example see on the top of my blog where i have Home, About Us and TOC as different pages)

Recently, Blogger launched the much awaited Blogger Pages Feature.
So, lets see how to Create Static Pages in Blogger.

1. Sign into Blogger Draft (draft.blogger.com).

2. Click on New Post as usual.

3. Select the 'Edit Pages' from the top menu

4. Click on 'New Page' button.

5. Now, give your page a title and write the content and publish the page.
6. If you want to display the Pages list in your Blog sidebar, select the 'Blog Sidebar' option,or you can keep it as nav menu below header by selecting 'Blog Tabs' option.

Note: If You've Selected either 'Blog Sidebar' or ' Blog Tabs ' option and if you see any bx-error,.. then, come back to last page and select 'No Gadget' option.
This means,you have to add the links manually to your template.

Click on Edit Pages again and Right Click on View -> Copy link location (in firefox) and Add the link manually in your sidebar via Link widget or you can add the link in your navigation bar via template > edit html.


Edit: As of now, Blogger allows you to only create pages up to 10. But, you can hack blogger to create more pages. You can read that tutorial here.(by Switcher)
