Making Left and Right Sidebar

minima-3-column A few weeks a go, I posted on how to make a new sidebar in minima template. I changed two sidebar template into three sidebar template. That posting has many comments from the readers. They gave the comments in shout box or in comment form. Their comments are variety. Some readers told their happiness because they could make their blogs into three column, congratulation readers. But, some of them are still curious and need more for that posting. Below is one of the comments from curious and unsatisfied readers;

Kang…How can I put the main column in the middle or between left and right sidebar??? Please help me …Thanks.

Kang Rohman : Hmmmmmmmmm…wanna know how to do that?...well that’s secret!

Reader : Huh..Kang rohman is stingy

Kang Rohman : Just kidding

Reader : Please…

Kang Rohman : Ok…

To make a new sidebar isn’t difficult, you only need to place the float code in the left and add the padding-right isn’t so that the left column and the main column don’t touch each others. You are confused, aren’t you? Well, I make you confused clip_image001..Just kidding again?

For you who want to place the sidebar column in the left, please read this article first because the present article is the continuation of that article. I am afraid that if you directly read this article, you will get more confused.

Before I continue to tell you about this topic, I suggest you not to use your main blog to do this tutorial but the use the other or trial blog. Why? In order to anticipate the unexpected result. If this experiment doesn’t work well, it will not damage your main blog…right? But only damaging your trial blog.

Ok, my friends..let’s start. I assume that you have made or created a new column. First, never give a check for Expand widget Template box. If you do it, it will give you a very complicated and confusing widget code.

In my previous posting, I wrote this code;





/* Outer-Wrapper
------------------------------------------ */

#outer-wrapper {
width: 840px
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
text-align:left;
font: $bodyfont;
}


#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}


#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: right;
padding-left:10px; /* yg ini tambahan juga biar tampak ada jarak sela */
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}


#newsidebar-wrapper {
width: 180px;
float: right;
padding-left:10px;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}




I order to make different result with the previous posting. I mean that the column isn’t in the right but in the left, you should only change the code a little. Please, look at the red code below and change them into:


#newsidebar-wrapper {
width: 180px;
float: left;
padding-right:10px;

word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}

If you see the blue codes, you only need to change the two line code and don’t change the others code. After changing it, don’t forget to save the template.

Next, go to the bottom of your template and find body. In the previous posting, I suggested you to put the code like this ;














Now, if you want to place the new sidebar in the left side, then you have to move that sidebar code above the main code (posting). The whole codes will look like the following:








Remember to click save template after finishing it. Finally, view the result…..what do you think? do you like your new template? I think so.

It is easy, isn’t it? Hopefully you understand my explanation and if you want to see the sample blog with the sidebar in the left and right, you can see it here.

Ziddu.com : Free Unlimitted File Hosting

sign up to ziddu here!

Now, Kang Rohman would like to share about Ziddu.com. Do you know Ziddu.com? Ziddu.com is a Free Unlimited File Hosting which gives a commission to their members if their videos, photos or documents are downloaded by others. Why does ziddu.com pay their members? and where does ziddu.com get the budget or money to pay them?

Well, it is very simple to answer you know and here is why????

If we upload more files, it will give more chances for Ziddu.com tobe visited by others who want to download their files. When uploading or downloading the files, indirectly we are also their visitors and help Ziddu.com to increase the traffic. As we know, if a website has a high traffic, for example; thousand traffics or even million traffics, it will invite the businessmen/advertisers to put an ads in that website (in this case, Ziddu.com). So, Ziddu.com gets the money/budget to pay their member from the advertisements in Ziddu.com.

How does Ziddu.com pay us? You will get $0.001 for every file which is downloaded by others. The commission will be paid through paypal or money bookers when your earning has minimal $ 10.

As well as getting the dollars from the downloaded files, you can also get the dollars through your affiliation or inviting somenone to join Ziddu.com. We will get $0.10 for one referral. There are many ways to invite our friends to join Ziddu.com, such as sending e-mail to your friends (but do not be a spammer…ok), or you can use the most effective way, that is blog. Like what I am doing now, inviting you to join Ziddu.com.

Ok friends, from now if you like to share your files or try to get some dollars, don’t think twice or too long , click the banner below to join…ok.

How To Make Blur Effects In The Photo or Image

Hello, my friends, it is weekend again and in this lovely weekend, Kang Rohman wants to follow up one of the question from the bloggers. The question is

“ Kang Rohman, How can I make blur effects in the photo in the blog?”.

Actually, In order to make a blur effect in the photo is not difficult; we only make a little code to create it. Please drop your mouse into the photo below so that you understand my explanation.

kang rohman

Please read the following steps to make the blur effect like the photo above.

1st Steps

  1. Log in into blogger with your ID
  2. Click the Layout
  3. Click Edit HTML tab and don’t forget to click Download Full Template and Back up the template first. (very important)
  4. Find the following code ]].>, then Copy and Paste the code below above ]].>

    .linkopacity img {
    filter:alpha(opacity=30);
    -moz-opacity: 0.30;
    opacity: 0.30;
    border:0;
    }
    .linkopacity:hover img {
    filter:alpha(opacity=100);
    -moz-opacity: 1.0;
    opacity: 1.0;
    border:0;
    }
    .linkopacityxtra:hover img {
    filter:alpha(opacity=1.1);
    -moz-opacity: 1.1;
    opacity: 1.1;
    border:0;
    }

  5. Save the template

2nd Steps

Every time you want to put a photo or picture, insert this code;

URL target" class="linkopacity">Image URL source">

For example, I have the URL address of the photo or picture like this;



http://24rohman.googlepages.com/Water-06.jpg



And I want to link that URL address to http://www.blogspottutorial.com, so I have to put the code below;



http://www.blogspottutorial.com" class="linkopacity">http://24rohman.googlepages.com/Water-06.jpg">


and the result will be like this. Please drop your mouse and click the image if you want:



blogspot tutorial


But If you don’t want to link the photo or picture anywhere, just change the URL address with the following code #nogo, for example;


#nogo" class="linkopacity">http://24rohman.googlepages.com/Water-06.jpg">


and then this is the result, just drop your mouse and click it. It doesn’t happen anything, right?




klik saja soalnya ga akan ke mana-mana


Ok, my friend, do you understand? I think you do. For showing the pictures in the blog was explained completely by me with the title Google page creator. You can read again if you forget or still do not understand.

I give you a little clue about CSS code above, you can change the level of blurring the picture by adding or reducing the opacity value, for example;

.linkopacity img {
filter:alpha(opacity=30);
-moz-opacity: 0.30;
opacity: 0.30;
border:0;
}



The opacity value = 30 is reduced into opacity = 30 (this is example only), so the picture will look to have more blur, example;

.linkopacity img {
filter:alpha(opacity=10);
-moz-opacity: 0.10;
opacity: 0.10;
border:0;
}

You can do your own experiments to get better result. Ok, see you at the next posting and don’t miss it dude.

Change the width of the dropdown archive

drop-down-archive_03 Hello, friends. How are you today? I hope everything is OK with you, so you can keep blogging and coming to Kang Rohman’s blog. Today, I would like to share about dropdown archive in blogspot.

Now, view your blog and see if it uses a dropdown archive or not? If it uses the dropdown archive, do you feel comfortable with the size of its width? Many bloggers do not feel comfortable with it because it isn’t suitable with the width of the sidebar. If you also feel uncomfortable with its width, you can change it so that it has the same width as its sidebar. So, how can I do it? Don’t worry my friends! Just read the instructions below until finish…Ok.

Before doing this one, make sure that your blog uses a dropdown archive.

  1. Log in into blogger with your ID
  2. Click Layout
  3. Then, click Edit HTML tab
  4. Please back up or save your template before editing it by clicking Download Full Template. (very important).
  5. Give a check in a small square next to Expand Template Widget and wait for a few seconds.

  7. Erase the above code and change with the code below



  8. Click “Save Template” and Done.

  9. View your blog and see the result.

What do you think of the present dropdown archive? You like it, don’ you.

Actually, from the explaination above, we only add this code style='width:100% in available dropdown menu, and of course, the value of style='width:100%' can be changed with the others value.

Have a nice trying and Good luck!!

Tips to Make Multi Column on Blogger Template

Hi guys? Meet again with me on Blogspot tutorial. This time, I would like to share my trick and tips to make multi column on blogger template. Like in wordpress, maybe you ever see any footer column which split into 2, 3, or even 4 parts. The question is, “do we can make the same thing in Blogger?” Of course we do. It will be very easy to build. Do you want to know more? Read it till end!

To make footer part become one column, it isn’t difficult as you imagine. But, you need a little trick to make the footer blog have multi column. To make you understand, I advise you to try it. Make a new blog for this little experiment (don’t do it on your main blog). In order to avoid any accident that might be happen..

First preparation that we need to give attention most is, width of our column that will be split into multi column, quantity of column that we going to make, space between one column to another column. But, templates in Blogger are so much. To make a deal with those problems, let’s use template Minima. Minima is original template that provide by Blogger with optional color white. Number of column that we are going to make is three column.

Original Minima template has 660 pixel column widths. We are going to make three columns, if we calculate it : 660px divide by 3 = 220px. With space (code to make space is padding) between column is 10px. Based on result of my calculation, column that we will make is 205px.

This is the steps to make multi column on blogger template :

Step 1:

  1. Don’t give a tick on white little box beside sentence, “expand widget template”. Or it will be twice more difficult.
  2. Add the code below exactly above code ]]>

    /* bottom
    ==================== */

    #bottom {
    width: 660px;
    position: relative;
    clear:both;
    margin: 0 auto;
    color:#fff;
    float: left;
    background:#BDBABD;
    padding: 15px 0 15px 0;
    }

    #bottom h2 {
    padding: 5px 0 2px 0;
    margin: 0 0 10px 0;
    color:#ff5a00;
    font-size: 24px;
    letter-spacing: -1px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
    }

    #bottom ul {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    }

    #bottom ul li {
    line-height: 26px;
    list-style-type: none;
    border-bottom: 1px dashed #031c5d;
    }

    #bottom ul li a {
    display: block;
    padding: 0 10px;
    color:#0701FD;
    text-decoration: none;

    }
    #bottom ul li a:hover {
    background: #B1ACB1;
    }

    #left-bottom {
    width: 205px;
    float: left;
    padding-left:10px;
    }

    #center-bottom {
    width: 205px;
    float: left;
    padding-left:10px;
    }

    #right-bottom {
    width: 205px;
    float: left;
    padding: 0 5px 0 10px;
    }

  3. Head to body under part of template code. Find out codes like this:



  4. Copy and paste code below exactly above of the previous code.

  5. Click Save Template Buttons.

  6. It’s done!

Step 2:

  1. Click Page Element tab.
  2. Are your new columns already become three?

bottom-page

If it hasn’t success yet, you must be missing something. If you already success, congratulations on you.

Well… do you want to see the examples? Just click here! Or, you can see at the bottom of this page.

Good luck!

Tips to Add Column on New Blogger Layout

Because of so many questions about, “How do we add column on the blog?” Finally, I decide to spent a little of my time to write this article. Actually, adding a new column to our blog doesn’t so hard. But still, we need bit knowledge to do that.

In this chance, I will explain to you about, “how to make a column without images help.” As usual, I will just use template Minima, you know that, this is official template which provide by Blogger and don’t use any picture.

Based on standardizations from Blogger Template, we will know that, a template must have three main elements. That is:

  • Header Element
  • Outer Element
  • Footer Element

For Outer, it’s divided again into:

  • Main Element. This is the element where we can save posting. So, any posting that we send to our blog will be shown here.
  • Sidebar Element. This is the elements to save any blog tools either accessory that we want, in order to decorate our blog.

From dissatisfaction from ‘only one sidebar’, if somehow we want to add some additional sidebar, we need to add it manually. I’ll clear it for you. I’ll show you an original template code from template Minima (New Template/XML)














<data:blog.pagetitle/>



















From the code that I show to you, the one that we need to keep track of are some codes around Outer-Wrapper:

/* Outer-Wrapper
------------------------------------------ */
#outer-wrapper {
width: 660px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
text-align:left;
font: $bodyfont;
}
#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: right;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}

Like what I’ve told you before, that Outer-Wrapper is a place to save main-wrapper and sidebar-wrapper. So, if you want to add a new column, or in other words, new sidebar, then something that we need to do first is adding column width from Outer-Wrapper itself.

Then, “How could we add a new column?” The first thing that you need to think about is, “how much longer width of my new column?” Okay, to make this thing clearer, I will take an example, width that we going to work for is 180 pixel, so we do need to change width of Outer-Wrapper, so we can estimate that width of our Outer-Wrapper is: 410 pixel + 220 pixel + 180 pixel + 20 pixel = 830 pixel. For some spaces, let’s give it plus 10 pixels, so we got 840 pixel widths for our sidebar. To add new side bar code, please look at the example below.

#newsidebar-wrapper {
width: 180px;
float: right;
padding-left:10px;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}

Then, if we add the code, it will be like this.

/* Outer-Wrapper
------------------------------------------ */
#outer-wrapper {
width: 840px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
text-align:left;
font: $bodyfont;
}
#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: right;
padding-left:10px; word-wrap: break-word;

overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */

}

#newsidebar-wrapper {
width: 180px;
float: right;
padding-left:10px;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}

That is the first step that we do. The second step is to make code that will be placed in body. As example on template that I just write, code id for sidebar are like this:

Our next duty is placing code for new id sidebar that we going to do. The code would be like this.





Then, after we mix it, just save new sidebar code under original sidebar code. The code would be like this.





Our new column already created. Want to make it more interesting? Then we should change the header width and footer width, with exactly same pixel as the Outer-Wrapper that is 840 pixels.

In order to understand what I told you clearly, just give it a try. Make a new blog for the experiment (don’t use your main blog to this experiment!). Choose the usual Minima template. Are you ready? Let’s keep moving!

  • login in on Blogger
  • Click Layout
  • Click Edit HTML tab.
  • Just keep in mind! Never give a tick in white little box beside sentence Expand Widget Template. Once again, don’t give it a tick, or you will see pretty annoying widget codes.
  • Find out code like this:






  • Change value 660px with 840px, so the code will be like this.






  • Find the code below
