Convert Ur blog in to a Magazine blog ( Adding 'Read More' styles)

Is there a big different between your and my template ? hmm ? oh , yes , in my home page I have a Magazine type template with a Read More buttons and you have a blog with a homepage of posts that show their whole body and take a long time to load. And also it makes your blog more longer. ( If you are posting more than 5 posts per a page ). So , do you want to know how to add 'Read More' buttons and make your blog more profeesional ? so here is the way !


Fisrt of all , go to the Settings tab , then select Formatting tab and go to the option Show. Now add a number more than 5. ( Here in my blog , I keep about 15-20 posts in homepage )



Now

1. Edit your Template
2. Now find out


<data:post.body/>


( press 'Ctr
l' + F to open your browser's search box)

Now Replace


<data:post.body/>


with
these codes. Make sure that you REPLACE this line. In some templates , I have seen a line as


<p><data:post.body/></p>


instead of



<data:post.body/>.


If then replace the whole



<p><data:post.body/></p>


line with follwing lines.



<script type='text/javascript'>
summary_noimg = 400;
summary_img = 300;
img_thumb_height = 0;
img_thumb_width = 0;
</script>
<script src='http://kfile.110mb.com/summary-post.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;);</script>
<span class='rmlink' style='float:right'><a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more</a></span>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if>


Now follow the Safety Saving Steps.

And

That's it , now your blog will too get converted to a Magazine type template as following photo.



Do you like to add a Image too ? like in this photo ?


Then change these two lines of codes


img_thumb_height = 0;
img_thumb_width = 0;


to


img_thumb_height = 80;
img_thumb_width = 100;


or any hieght and width that you like to have.


If you want to increase your post's height ,


summary_noimg = 400;
summary_img = 300;


change these to any amount you need !


summary_noimg = 400; stand for the post's hieght without a Image.
summary_img = 300; stand for the post's hieght with the Image.

That's what I was looking for. Only my code don't contain such code at all, but something like this

}

.post-body {

Do you know how to make changes in such case?

Thank you!

@Khatia

Thank you. I didn't think it would make such difference. I'll try it out when I get more time. Thanks!

I done everything as you said, but somehow it's not working on my blog http://abgeo.blogspot.com/

First it take way longer to download the page. Second, there is read more, but only after whole Text is displayed. and my 2 sidebars on right side were gone.

I set everything back. Do you know what reason might have been? :(
