Showing full post on homepage is not a good idea at all and it also makes your blog's loading a bit slow. So now i'am going to tell you how to add Read More button on your blog to make loading fast and giving a pro look to your blog. Here we go :
- Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Search for </head>
- Just above </head> paste following script:
<script type='text/javascript'>var thumbnail_mode = "no-float" ;
summary_noimg = 430;
summary_img = 340;
img_thumb_height = 100;
img_thumb_width = 120;
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
function removeHtmlTag(strx,chop){
if(strx.indexOf("<")!=-1)
{
var s = strx.split("<");
for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){
if(s[i].indexOf(">")!=-1){
s[i] = s[i].substring(s[i].indexOf(">")+1,s[i].length);
}
}
strx = s.join("");
}
chop = (chop < strx.length-1) ? chop : strx.length-2;
while(strx.charAt(chop-1)!=' ' && strx.indexOf(' ',chop)!=-1) chop++;
strx = strx.substring(0,chop-1);
return strx+'...';
}
function createSummaryAndThumb(pID){
var div = document.getElementById(pID);
var imgtag = "";
var img = div.getElementsByTagName("img");
var summ = summary_noimg;
if(img.length>=1) {
imgtag = '<span style="float:left; padding:0px 10px 5px 0px;"><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="'+img_thumb_width+'px" height="'+img_thumb_height+'px"/></span>';
summ = summary_img;
}
var summary = imgtag + '<div>' + removeHtmlTag(div.innerHTML,summ) + '</div>';
div.innerHTML = summary;
}
//]]>
</script>
If you want to change image thumbnail size then find these numbers 100 and 120.
- Now click on Expand Widgets Template and search for <data:post.body/> and replace it with following code :
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<data:post.body/>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>
<data:post.body/>
<b:else/>
<div expr:id='"summary" + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'> createSummaryAndThumb("summary<data:post.id/>");
</script>
<a class='more' expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more ...</a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
Save It and we're done....now take a look at your blog......
