Beautify Your CSS Code


Messy CSS codes just cause problems in coding. It's always hard to edit messy CSS files on your notepad. Well formatted CSS codes are really easy to read and edit. While creating templates, we write hundreds of CSS codes, and it's really hard for us to format all lines.

Also, when we write CSS codes for others, we really don't focus on code formatting, which cause some problems in future when we have to re-edit those stylesheets.

If you're thinking about to manually formatting you old codes, then it's just a waste of time when we can use an automatic CSS formatting tool.

CSS Beautify automatically formats your style to be consistent and easy to read. It's an open-source project from Sencha Labs. If you want then you can also download this tool at this link.

By using CSS Beautify, you'll be able to format you CSS codes in no time. It's way too much easy, even for Justin Bieber fans(no comments on this point).

Just put your messy CSS codes in first field, and you'll get beautifully formatted CSS code instantly:


Hope this will help you in future....Also, i want to share this good news with you all.

Adding AJAX Page Loading Effect To Blogger


AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use existing standards. AJAX is the art of exchanging data with a server, and updating parts of a web page - without reloading the whole page. AJAX was made popular in 2005 by Google, with Google Suggest.

Google Suggest is using AJAX to create a very dynamic web interface: When you start typing in Google's search box, a JavaScript sends the letters off to a server and the server returns a list of suggestions. Examples of applications using AJAX: Google Maps, Gmail, Youtube, and Facebook tabs

You can also use AJAX to create some beautiful loading effects on your blogger blog. Here we go:

  • Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Click on "Proceed"
  • Find and place following code below <body>:

<div id='loading'><div id='progress-bar'></div><div id='loader'>Loading...</div></div>

  • Now add following code just above </head>:

<script charset='utf-8' src='http://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script>

(function($){

$("html").removeClass("v2");


$("#header").ready(function(){ $("#progress-bar").stop().animate({ width: "25%" },1500) });
$("#footer").ready(function(){ $("#progress-bar").stop().animate({ width: "75%" },1500) });


$(window).load(function(){

    $("#progress-bar").stop().animate({ width: "100%" },600,function(){
        $("#loading").fadeOut("fast",function(){ $(this).remove(); });
    });

});
})(jQuery);
</script>

<style>
#loading {
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 50;
    top: 0; left: 0;
    width: 100%; height: 100%;
 background: #3c5a76 url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-DMF_2ELaLMFFOFWGw5wA7hTFnRimVjuZ1NftTS5Ik3tem5nDd-GMA7v1sFxfpSMyptt6qhbEoWPtIM90BTsXn4gKHFxNxVj6nKy9WpFoK9H9on6L_Xa3y7tnuyAxoe4X7ZsiJr0Pvw/s1600/Loading.gif) no-repeat center;
    line-height: 350px;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 36px;
    color: #353231;
    text-indent: -9999px;
}
.v2 #loading { display: none; }

#progress-bar {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0; left: 0;
    background: rgb(236, 133, 0);
    opacity: 0.8;
    width: 0;
    height: 18px;
}
#loader {
 background: url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijoHdj8b4N4HYsdgZ5Xf8t7Cj51p8kBgOcplIV8Xse3bt2InhJi5Sidjhw-upO4DAfIce7QHeFAq-lWDBRfrBMxvpZYtj3crPvFXKQuU4hK5_gelnF1SAqe0667mph2Irnif15ensDcJE/s1600/BWidgets.png) no-repeat center 25%;

Remove Attribution Widget From Blogger Mobile Template


In our last post, we discussed how to remove attribution widget from blogger. In this post, we'll discuss how to remove attribution widget from blogger mobile template.

In previous post, we showed you how to remove attribution widget from your blog but that widget can still be viewed by visiting your mobile template (If you're using). After searching on Google for hours i found nothing about this topic, so i invented my own way to do this.

In last trick, we removed this widget, now we'll hide'em. Without wasting any time, let's get started:

  • Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Proceed
  • Find and remove following code from your template:

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'/>

  • Find </body> in your template and just above it paste following code:

<div style='display:none;'>
<b:section class='hiddenbar' id='hiddenbar' preferred='no'>
<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='no' title='' type='Attribution'/>
</b:section>
</div>

  • Save your template, it's done.

Let me explain this, instead of removing attribution widget, we hid this widget with css. If you only add mobile='no' property in your attribution, instead of this code, it'll only remove this widget from your mobile template. If you're copying this tutorial, then don't forget to give us a backlink on your post. Also, don't forget to leave a comment.

Display Your Feed On A HTML Page


About every blogger now is using feedburner to publish their feed. By using feedburner, you can get realtime stats and subscriber count. You can even use a custom domain with feedburner. You can display your feedburner feed on Blogger with a simple feed widget but you can't use that widget on your html site. Don't worry, you can still display your feed on a static html or your website by using BuzzBoost. Here we go:

Go To FeedBurner > Click on your feed:


Click on the "Publicize" tab, and then click on "BuzzBoost" in the list at the left side of the screen (see image below). At this point BuzzBoost will give you a number of different options. Choose your preference and click on "Active" button. If you’ve already activated BuzzBoost you’ll see the option to save instead of activate.


Once you choose your settings and activate BuzzBoost you will be provided with the piece of code. Copy the code provided by FeedBurner and paste it into your page wherever you want it to be displayed. You're completely free to use my feeds on your blog:

<script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/WidgetCraft?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript" ></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/WidgetCraft"></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript>

It's done, you can also style this code by using some css:

.feedTitle {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% whitesmoke;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid rgb(81, 104, 59);
}
.feedburnerFeedBlock ul {
margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;
list-style-type: none;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li {
padding: 5px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #E0E0E0;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li span.headline a {
color: #990000;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li span.headline a:hover {
color: #535353;
}

#creditfooter {
display: none;
}
