Create A Rollover Image Effect (change image on mouseover)

The Rollover effect is one in which an image web object changes (swaps itself) on mouse over to another web object (called rollovers) and reverts back to the original image on mouse out. Rollover images are preloaded into the page when it is loading, this ensures that the rollovers are displayed quickly. The onMouseOver and onMouseOut attributes of the link tag are used to make this functional.

Demo:  Place your mouse over the image below to see its rollover effect

Image source: mdgraphs.deviantart.com

Making Rollover Effect Image

You have the following code:

<a href="URL ADDRESS"><img src="URL OF THE FIRST IMAGE GOES HERE" onmouseover="this.src='URL OF THE SECOND IMAGE GOES HERE'" onmouseout="this.src='URL OF THE FIRST IMAGE GOES HERE'" /></a>

Change the colored texts as it follows:

1. URL ADDRESS

This is the address you want the image to lead to when it's clicked.
Example : http://www.bloggingcreate.blogspot.com

2. URL OF THE FIRST IMAGE GOES HERE

Replace the green text (two times) with image's url address - this is the image shown before you hover over it.
Example: http://i1256.photobucket.com/albums/ii494/helplogger76/helploggerblogspotcomstickie3.png

3. URL OF THE SECOND IMAGE GOES HERE
Replace the text in red with the url of your image - this image will appear when your cursor hovers over it.
Example: http://i1256.photobucket.com/albums/ii494/helplogger76/helploggerblogspotcomstickie2.png

Now you can paste your image inside a blog gadget, going to Page Elements > Add a Gadget > Select "HTML/JavaScript and add it to your sidebar Or you can add it inside your post by going to New Post > Switch to Edit HTML tab and then paste the code in the empty box. That's it.

How To Change Avatar Size In Blogger Comments

This simple trick will help you to change the avatars size in Blogger comments. For changing the style and size of avatars, we should add some CSS codes in our Blogger template.


Step 1.

If you are using the old Blogger interface:
  • Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - Expand Widget Template (make a backup)
If you are using the new Blogger interface:
  • Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - Expand Widget Template (make a backup)

Step 2. Find (CTRL + F) this code in your template:

]]></b:skin>

Step 3. Copy and paste one of the following codes just above it:

[Works in Blogger threaded comment system]

.comments .avatar-image-container{
background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);
border:1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
width: 64px;
max-height: 64px;
}
.comments .avatar-image-container img{
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
max-width: 64px;
height: 64px;
}

[for old blogger commenting system]

.avatar-image-container{
border:1px solid #d6d6d6;
margin-left: -30px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
background:#fff;
height:70px;
min-height: 70px;
width:70px;
min-width:70px;
}
.avatar-image-container img {
background: url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjomxwmH0b9oPny1u95ofQOO2qoS3JIyPbcUZKm8Ov11N-ysmsYe2kIGuNMZTs-8eJfGwBIXVCQl10qaVi1v-boRJKepw-afXwZTEQ9pkdKCpOaUlrs26R067RLKCAhmqh55SaRPbwKyTA/s200/anonymous.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-size: 100%;
width:70px;
min-width:70px;
height:70px;
min-height:70px;
}

Note: If you want bigger/smaller avatars, change the values in red. To change the anonymous avatar, replace the URL address in blue with your own. (works only for previous commenting system)

Step 4. Save the Template.

Now view your blog to see the results.
Enjoy!

Show Blogger Image only in Homepage and Hide it in Post Page


Want to know how to hide specific images from blogger posts pages and to appear only in homepage? In this tutorial we'll learn how we can do this! So let's start hiding our images from posts pages:

Step 1. 


If you are using the old Blogger interface:
  • Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - Expand Widget Template (make a backup)
If you are using the new Blogger interface:
  • Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - Expand Widget Template (make a backup)
Step 2. Find (CTRL + F) this code in your template:

    }]]></b:skin>

Step 3. Copy and paste the following code just below it

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;index&quot;'>
<style>
.hidepic{
display: none;
}
</style>
</b:if>

Step 4. Save the Template.

Now everytime you create a post, firstly add the pic you want to hide and then switch to Edit HTML tab where you'll see the HTML code of the image you have added that will look something like this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaqBLo3Cco4jjICb6WVrydPvRU7DHj8yRDtZcVvzG2FFqC4RE3rqZKYgnMBgTUHmrPHkal0I5NkXQSwLfW5JNrcO22-pmQUd5E0AvTUJRBGYJLdwnEqszrYy1hTauX_lhRax7rIA9KA5A/s1600/fire_bird_by_fhrankee-d32af8v.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaqBLo3Cco4jjICb6WVrydPvRU7DHj8yRDtZcVvzG2FFqC4RE3rqZKYgnMBgTUHmrPHkal0I5NkXQSwLfW5JNrcO22-pmQUd5E0AvTUJRBGYJLdwnEqszrYy1hTauX_lhRax7rIA9KA5A/s320/fire_bird_by_fhrankee-d32af8v.png" width="320" /></a></div>

Note: it should be at the exact location where your image has been added (if the image is at the middle of the text, then the code should be located also at the middle)
All you have to do is to replace "separator" with "hidepic" as you can see in this screenshot below:


That's it!

  • Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - Expand Widget Template (make a backup)

If you are using the new Blogger interface:

  • Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - Expand Widget Template (make a backup)

Step 2. Now find (CTRL+F) this code in the template:


<b:includable id='status-message'>
  <b:if cond='data:navMessage'>
  <div class='status-msg-wrap'>
    <div class='status-msg-body'>
      <data:navMessage/>
    </div>
    <div class='status-msg-border'>
      <div class='status-msg-bg'>
        <div class='status-msg-hidden'><data:navMessage/></div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style='clear: both;'/>
  </b:if>
</b:includable>


Step 3. Delete the code from above and replace it with this one:

<b:includable id='status-message'>
<b:if cond='data:navMessage'>
<div>
</div>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>

Save the template. View your blog and click on some label....no more box.

Change YOUR-BLOG/SITE-URL with the url address of your site/blog (ex: http://bloggingcreate.blogspot.com) and be careful to have no forward slash symbol "/" at the end of your url

Settings
  • To disable the scroll bar, remove the number 500
  • By default, this widget is set to display a maximum of 8 recent posts. To change this number, replace the number 8 with the number of posts desired
  • if you want only the posts titles to appear, change true to none and "0" from padding-top:0px with 10

5. Save your widget. And that's it!
