Nakshatra Template

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Sun, 31 Dec 2017 06:36:00 +0000

Many of my blog readers requested to publish the theme that I'm currently using in this blog or at least to announce its name. Although it is inspired from the ocean of templates over the internet, it is completely self-designed. The core of this theme was designed back in 2014; and from then it is consistently modified. For personal purpose, codes related to syntax highlighting, social content locking etc. are used in this theme, which are obviously unnecessary for any ordinary blog; even some snippets of this theme are hard-coded. So when I got the request, it took me some time to remove all unnecessary contents and make the entire theme dynamic. When it became finally ready to produce, it was again a period of hesitation for naming. Finally after some struggle, I came up with Nakshatra (means Star). This theme is rich in feature, fast in loading and awesome in appearance.

Social Content Locker for Blogger

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 22:18:00 +0000

After using multiple sharing widget in your blogger, is your social exposure is on the lower side? Do you think that people read your content, but in spite of sharing or liking your content, they just read and leave? Do you have a feeling that they completely ignore whether your website has traffic or not. Well, in that case you have to drive your readers to like or share your page in order to discover your content. This is likely the best means to increase your social traffic, especially for those design sites that shares free resources. Locking the entire page by some pop up probably the worst idea because this fails to showcase the importance of your content. That's why this locker is designed to lock a specific part of your page instead of the entire page. It can lock any part of your webpage and can be implemented infinite times on a single page. You can even change the appearance of this locker to your custom style.

Blogger Navigation with Post Title

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:48:00 +0000

In my blog I've discussed how to customize blogger newer-post and older-post navigation. Today I'll show you how to display post titles with these navigation links. It actually looks good to display blog post titles instead of showing just page navigation buttons.The basic concept behind this trick is simple. We'll use jQuery .get() function to display titles with these links. jQuery introduced this function to load data from the server using a HTTP GET request. Since blogger does not have proper data tag that can load title of previous page or next page, we'll use this jQuery function to load data from the server. I'ill also show you some stylish appearance of post titles with these navigations. However if you know a little bit of css, you can easily customize your blogger appearance.

Breadcrumb Navigation

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 11:00:00 +0000

Breadcrumb navigation (as well recognized as 'Breadcrumb trail') is a navigation widget that lets users to know their position in the hierarchy of a website and to retrace their steps to fail back to beginning with less time and elbow grease. It can be seen in many websites horizontally just above the post title (or maybe below header), and contains links to categories that related to the posts, the reader is currently on. It is an alternative method of navigation which in fact increases the usability of a website. Often a slash ( / ), a single right angle quote ( › ) or even a double right angle quote ( » ) is used as separator in breadcrumb hierarchy.

If you're an administrator of a site that contains downloadable resources, then surely you're looking for such widget or plugin that counts (and also displays) how many times an item has been downloaded from your site. This is necessary because this helps blog author (and also readers) to know how much popular that resource is. But it might be a problem for everybody to create such plugin, because to create this you have to know php, database, javascript etc. However I've found a website, Firebase that also does the same job. You can use their scripts to install download counter plugin in your site, which is totally legal and the best part is you can create your own free accounts at Firebase. Your download stats will be stored in your Firebase accounts and can be displayed in your site. This download counter offered by Firebase works with all major blogging platforms and websites.

Scroll to an Internal Link

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 20:16:00 +0000

Scrolling within page i.e. scroll to an internal link has experienced a huge growth in popularity in web design in recent years. Perhaps you’ve seen it before that when you click a link in the navigation, it takes you not to another page but a specific point within the current page. Actually it is very easy to do with some extremely basic HTML but if you want a nice scrolling animation when page goes up or bottom, you have to add some jQuey along with the HTML. This tutorial is about how to scroll to an internal link. I wish this simple and little trick works for you.

Scroll to Top and Bottom

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 18:12:00 +0000

Every professional blogger should look after the decoration of their blog carefully so that visitors can navigate easily throughout the blog. If your blog have infinite page scroll or your post contains information, a lot, it would be very annoying for every reader to go back to the top of the page by either refreshing the page or dragging the scroll bar all the way back to the top. Jump to top (and bottom) is that's why very essential element for every blog decoration. But it would be far more stunning to scroll gradually instead of just jump to the top (which exactly Home button does). You can find this feature in almost every blog and website. This tutorial will show you how to add a modern and simple scroll button to your blog.

Modern Search Boxes for Blogger

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 07:21:00 +0000

Every blog should have a search box so that blog visitors can search any post in blog`s archive with less effort. If your blog contains thousands of posts, it'll be very difficult for a reader to find any specific article in your blog by going through the complete archive of your blog posts. But if you have search box installed in your blog then readers can directly search any article by using it. In this way search box helps blog readers to navigate easily throughout your blog. Blogger has its own search box widget but the design is dull and undesirable. This tutorial will show you how to add custom search box to your blog.

It is really important and essential to give an abstract view of your blog to your blog readers. This not only increases your blog traffic but also shows your sophistication level. Now in order to do that, you have to implement various widgets in your blog; among which navigation menu is an essential one. But among all of the different types of menus that can be used on a website, a dropdown menu benefits the most. A dropdown menu is able to organize all contents into smaller sub-categories that are easy to navigate. By using a dropdown menu with a large list of categories and sub-categories, the surfing experience of your visitors can be improved.

You may have noticed that all the widgets (or gadgets) you add to your blog, will be displayed on all pages by default. But it is really important to have control over the showcase of various widget in blog page because some widgets are actually meant for some specific pages. Hiding certain element inside your blog pages is not only a matter of design, but sometimes it is very much necessary.

Remove Attribution Widget from Blogger

noreply@blogger.com (meNight Fury) — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 10:30:00 +0000

The 'Attribution' widget is that widget in the footer that says 'Powered By Blogger'. Blogger's terms and conditions do not allow to remove this widget from the blog. Although presence of this widget is little bit of annoying. If you've ever tried to remove this widget, you may have noticed that this widget is locked into your blog i.e. if you go to 'Layout' panel, you'll find that you can't move (and hence can't remove) this widget. Even if you click 'Edit' on 'Attribution' widget, a new window appears which doesn't contain a 'Remove' button on it (displayed below).
