Add Facebook Like & Send Button After Each Post Title!

Earlier I showed How to Add a Pop Out Facebook Like Box in Side Bar. And in this post I'm gonna show how to add the Facebook like and send button after each post title. All you've to do is just add a small code in your blog template. 

If you do this, it will be easier to share your blog post with your friends. And you can also post it in your wall without visiting your page! And it will also allow you to share posts by email IDs of your friends. So you shouldn't miss this trick. 

1. Sign in into your blogger account. 
2. Then go to Design > Template > Edit Html. (Backup your template if you're new user)
3. Check the box Expand Widget Template. 
4. Press Ctrl+F and search for <data:post.body/>
5. Now copy and paste the following code before  <data:post.body/> 
6. Now save your template and see the result! 

<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="" send="true" layout="button_count" width="500" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like>

NB: This code may be worked for any other websites other than blogger. Just copy and paste the code in the perfect place. 

You can customize this code too- 

1. If you place this code after <data:post.body/>  this tag then the like and send button will be displayed after the blog post rather than the title. 
2. Look at the the width="500". You can change the size too. You can use 450 or 550 instead of 500. 

Add Print as PDF button in Your Blog!

Sometimes your blog or website reader may wanna save the post as PDF. Or they may want to print it. And there are many free tools to add Save as PDF button. But the problem is that, most of the free tools doesn't allow you to remove the background images of your site. I mean this is not print friendly. As a result whole web page is saved. And this is very irritating. 

Today I'm sharing a code that is free from this problem. It allows you to save only the sentences with related image. Let's try this- 

1. Sign in into your blog. Then go to design.
2. From the left panel, hit on the Layout button.
3. Now click on Add a Gadget.
4. Choose HTML/ JavaScript.
5. Now copy and paste the following code into the Content Box.
6. Save the gadget and view your blog to see the change! 

<script src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">document.doAT = function(cl){var myclass = new RegExp("hentry");var myTitleContainer = new RegExp("post-title");var myPostContent = new RegExp("post-footer");var elem = this.getElementsByTagName("div");for (var i = 0; i < elem.length; i++){var classes = elem[i].className;if (myclass.test(classes)){var container = elem[i];for (var b = 0; b < container.childNodes.length; b++){var item = container.childNodes[b].className;if (myTitleContainer.test(item)){var link = container.childNodes[b].getElementsByTagName("a");if (typeof(link[0]) != "undefined"){var url = link[0].href;var index_page = true;}else{var url = document.url;var index_page = false;}if (typeof(url) == "undefined"|| url == "undefined" ){url = window.location.href;var index_page = false;}}if (myPostContent.test(item)){var footer = container.childNodes[b];}}var n = document.createElement("div");if (index_page == true) {var at = '<a href=' + url + '?pfstyle=wp' + ' style="float:right; margin-right: 1em; color:#6D9F00; text-decoration:none;" class="printfriendly" title="Printer Friendly and PDF"><img style="border:none;" src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/button-print-grnw20.png" alt="Print Friendly and PDF"/></a>';}else {var at = '<a href="http://www.printfriendly.com" style="float:right; margin-right: 1em; color:#6D9F00; text-decoration:none;" class="printfriendly" onclick="window.print(); return false;" title="Printer Friendly and PDF"><img style="border:none;" src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/button-print-grnw20.png" alt="Print Friendly and PDF"/></a>';}n.innerHTML = at;var origFooter = footer.innerHTML;footer.innerHTML = n.innerHTML + origFooter;footer.style.overflow = "hidden";}}return true;};document.doAT("hentry");</script>

If you wanna place the button at the left side then replace the red colored words as- float:left. And if you are expert in coding like html, CSS, then you can easily place this code anywhere you want. 

Code for other websites other than blogger- 

<script src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.js" type="text/javascript"></script><a href="http://www.printfriendly.com" style=" color:#6D9F00; text-decoration:none;" class="printfriendly" onclick="window.print(); return false;" title="Printer Friendly and PDF"><img style="border:none;" src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/button-print-grnw20.png" alt="Print Friendly and PDF"/></a>

How to Create a Custom Toolbar for Website

A customized toolbar of your blog or website may increase visitors loyalty. If they found your toolbar useful they can use it in browser. And this is also important for your site's ranking. There may be hundred ways to build a toolbar. Some of them are free or some may be premium. 

For creating toolbar, my personal choice is Alexa. Why? 

• Because it's free and easy to use. 
• You can easily monitor the usage statistics. 
• And most importantly, alexa is a ranking site. It measures websites ranking from 1 to the last. 
• Alexa considers the site most that has its toolbar and widget in the page. 

Let's build a toolbar now. 

1.  First go to the Alexa and register an account. It takes 2 or 3 minutes. If you already have 
     an account then proceed to the next step. 

2.  Now go to the toolbar creator page.

3.  A pop up window will ask you to enter the toolbar name. Type the name or skip it. 
     You can write a name later.

4.  Now look at the image below. Here you can edit toolbar name and choose a logo. 

5.  Have a look at the Add buttons that drive traffic to your website. There are 4 buttons.  

     Only add the buttons that is necessary for you. Because you can't add 

     all the buttons due to the space limitations. 

6.  Now move to the Add social networking buttons section. Add only the first 2 buttons. 

     Show tweets button is not necessary. Click Next. 

7.  Add buttons for things that your users do everyday. This is the most useful part for 
     the users. I recommend you to add the Personal Twitter and Gmail button. Click Next.

8.  This step let you add an icon for the toolbar. You can either choose an icon made earlier 
     or use the default. I prefer to use the custom image. Click Next.

You're almost done. Publish it to make the toolbar available for download. But how can your visitors will get it? 

Go to the dashboard and click on your toolbar. Then you'll find different shapes and colors. Choose the color and shape as your choice from step 1 and 2. Then add a HTML gadget in your blog by the html code from the step 3. Place the gadget in a part of the page where the visitor can easily find it.

Currently the alexa toolbar works with Chrome, Firefox and IE. Hope it will support more browsers in the future. 

Have a look at the sample toolbar below:

If you have any query regarding toolbar creator then leave a comment.
