How to Add Related Posts to Your Blogger or Blogspot Posts?
Dec 3, 2008 Blogging Tips, Layout/Design
I am running several blogs using Blogger or Blogspot as my platform. From the very beginning, I always thought that the inability to add widgets to the main entry area, has been a disadvantage of Blogger. Well, except maybe if you know a little CSS and HTML. But for basic bloggers who usually rely on downloadable widgets and codes through the internet, this can be a disadvantage.
One of the most used plugins of WordPress blogs is the related or similar posts plugins, which Blogger users can only envy of. But who says similar posts have its only place in WordPress blogs?
Realtrix relates a detailed steps on how to add similar posts to Blogger blogs by adding some codes to your XML template. This hack shows a list of related posts (under similar category) below an exsisting post.
One way of showing similar posts is by adding your blog feed as page element under the main blog entry. You can do this by modifying your layout. However, this will only give an effect of showing the related posts of a certain entry because this only lists the recent posts made to your blog. Nonetheless, it can also be a way of “gluing” your visitors and adding traffic to your website.
