5. And paste your selected [a href="#readmore"]Read More Link style code[/a] just above it.
6. Next search for this,
<data:post.body/>
7. Just below it you will find the read more link code similar to this one,
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>
<div style="text-align: right;">Read More ->></div></a>
</b:if>
If you are using a read more link button then the code will look something like this,
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>
<div style="text-align: right;">< img src=http://xyz.com border="0"/></div></a>
</b:if>
In both the cases, simply replace the highlighted code with this,
class="MBT-readmore"
8. Save your template and you are done!

[/a]If you have a lengthy name like mine :p then may be you would like to use a nick name instead when you publish new posts. This name will appear normally like your profile name under your post titles and visitors can see who the author is. By default in all BlogSpot blogs the name of the author display is one with which appears in all his blogs. But sometimes you may want a different name to be displayed if you own an associated blog. I have also come up with a code that will display different author names on label pages. I will share it soon.

[/a]Today's player is much different from the [a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/11/customize-color-scheme-of-wordpress-mp3.html" target="_blank"]music mp3 player[/a] I previously shared. It created by [a href="http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer-en" target="_blank"]alsacreations[/a] and provided for free use. It is called Dewplayer, which is a smart easy to use flash mp3 player that comes in different sizes and shapes. You can create a beautiful playlist in your blogger blogs with it and with a professional look. I personally liked it a lot! Turn off the music below and lets try this new discovery.

The previous post on [a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/06/add-facebook-comments-box-to-blogger.html" target="_blank"]Facebook comments box[/a] did not replace your blogger comment form but if you wish to completely remove the blogger form and use this new plugin then steps are even more simple. However I may assure you one important thing here. I am soon going to publish a script that will automatically count and display Facebook and blogger comments beautifully and will show only one form at a time. For the time being apply this new trick.

CSS3 has many new powers with which we can further enhance our websites, without extensive knowledge of JavaScript, or without really effecting our website’s loading time. With less than ten lines of CSS coding, we can achieve each of the following effects. Changing CSS properties on mouse-hover and using CSS3 transitions were used for these enhancements. You can now easily animate the images on your WordPress or Blogger blogs using the simple image opacity effect below that rotates the image on mouse hover.
