# HOW TO POST
There are no posting rules, up to you want to use this template for blogging, images/videos gallery. Just post as usual, add images, add video, write articles, all you wish to post. To post a video, just copy and paste the embed code to your post editor. This template automatically create thumbnail for Youtube videos, support new and old embed code. Use "video width = 640px" to match with "post width".
*How to floating video if I want to use small video width?
General new Youtube embed code,
<iframe width="400" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xBzoBgfm55w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Floating code for left,
<iframe style="float:left;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" width="400" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xBzoBgfm55w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Floating code for right,
<iframe style="float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" width="400" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xBzoBgfm55w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

*Post Videos from another site (besides Youtube)
This template can't create automatic thumbnail for video besides Youtube. So, you need to upload image thumbnail for the video.
Always use use the image html code below to show thumbnail for video besides Youtube,
<img class="thumbvideo" src="YOUR-IMAGE-URL" />
class="thumbvideo" <- this is important

Example,
Video embed code from Metacafe,
<embed flashVars="playerVars=autoPlay=no" src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/7361775/gigantic_rotating_cloud_vortex_meoter_or_ufo.swf" width="640" height="338" wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" name="Metacafe_7361775" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><div style="font-size:12px;">
<a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/7361775/gigantic_rotating_cloud_vortex_meoter_or_ufo/">Gigantic Rotating Cloud Vortex! Meoter or UFO</a> - <a href="http://www.metacafe.com/">The top video clips of the week are here</a></div>

then you need to upload the image thumbnail for that video, copy the image url then paste to the image code like below.
<img class="thumbvideo" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-alB1F218bcs/TpGA2xdw0CI/AAAAAAAAB2U/2gAfI_z2X4s/s400/metacafe1.JPG" />
Look like this,

#RECENT VIDEO BY CATEGORY UNDER POST
"Add a Gadget" -> "HTML/JavaScript"
Copy and paste the code below,
<script type='text/javascript'>var numposts = 4;var showpostthumbnails = true;var displaymore = false;var displayseparator = false;var showcommentnum = false;var showpostdate = false;var showpostsummary = false;var numchars = 80;</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/feeds/posts/default/-/YOURCATEGORYHERE?orderby=updated&alt=json-in-script&callback=labelthumbs"></script>


Change "YOURCATEGORYHERE" with your own category/label.

#RELATED POSTS/VIDEO BY CATEGORY ON SIDEBAR AUTOMATIC SHOWN
*How to control the number of related posts to show?
Go to "Edit HTML" then search this code
var relmaxposts = 10;
var numchars = 80;

relmaxposts = 10; <- Number of posts to show
numchars = 80; <- Number of characters for summary

#POPULAR POSTS/VIDEO USE BLOGGER DEFAULT WIDGET

  4. @Ritzzo: The recent widget script cannot create thumbnail for "old Youtube embed code". Please use "new Youtube embed code". That why "Popular posts Widget" by Blogger also can't show thumbnail of video. I create "old Youtube embed code" Thumbnail script only for posts as optional. This to make all widgets script that already create by Blogger or by other programmer also can work fine for this template.

  5. hi admin, Hi! thanks a lot for the template..

  6. @Googos: Go to "Edit HTML" then search this css code,

    .homelabel-wrapper {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DEDEDE;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
    font-size: 10px;
    font-weight: normal;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 5px;
    position: absolute;
    }


    Just add "display:none;" property, like this

    .homelabel-wrapper {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DEDEDE;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
    font-size: 10px;
    font-weight: normal;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 5px;
    position: absolute;
    display:none;
    }

  7. what's the class of img holder of POPULAR POST widget? I would like to resize it to much smaller scale

    ReplyDelete
  8. @Googos: add this css class,

    .PopularPosts img {
    height: 72px;
    width: 72px;
    }

    change height and width value as you wish.

    ReplyDelete
  9. it only affects the EDIT ICON not the img THUMBNAIL. Is there any other way i was searching on google but no avail.

    ReplyDelete
  10. @Googos: Are you already change the value of height and width? 72px is default value. Example, change the "height" value into 60px.

    .PopularPosts img {
    height: 60px;
    width: 72px;
    }

    Sorry I'm not explain it more detail, because you are asking like have some css basic skill.

    ReplyDelete
  11. yes I already paste it somewhere inside the css style but it does not affect the POPULAR POST img thumbnail it only affects the edit icon when you are login in your blogger account...
    EDIT ICON - it refers to the tool icon just below any type of widget.
    ps.. i want to resize the images inside the popular post widget i think its not a .PopularPost img class

    ReplyDelete
  12. @googos: Yes I know what you mean. You can visit the demo blog, http://videoblog-fbt.blogspot.com and see the effect of that ".PopularPost img" class. Only this I can do to help you.

  24. @Ammar Iftikhar: just remove text after "?", like this

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thanks Adim for your prompt reply,
    I was just wondering if there is a way that the 'text after "?"' could be automatically removed by the code itself, rather than manually removing it cause I'll have to post alot of videos and it will be difficult to do it each time, kindly suggest any solution.

    Thanks again!
