I think you have noticed a navigation menu at the bottom of my home page . Normally , blogger includes a link to older posts and previous posts at the end of each page .

In the above case , its pretty difficult as is makes us move on through each and every stories to view an inner page . Here i will discuss about a Blogger Footer navigation system which looks as shown below .
Usually the label pages in Blogger displays all the stories tagged with a particular label . So if you have 10 posts for a label “computer”, everything under computer will come to a single page . After applying this hack , you will be able control the no: of posts that can appear in a single label page .

First part is to add a CSS code above tag </b:skin>. This code can be used to change the size ,colors and border of your Footer navigation menu .

Open Your Blogger templates’ layout , select edit HTML and expand widget templates.
Now complete the first part by inserting the CSS code at the exact location .

Second step is to add the following JavaScript below </b:section> tag .

In most cases ,it will the one that lies near below the Blog 1 or footer comment section .So its up to you to find out the exact location and you can do some trial and error method in this case .

<b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='yes'> <b:widget id='Blog1' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/> </b:section>

Now you can customize the Blogger Footer navigation by changing the number of posts and links on it . On the JavaScript code , search for a section var pageCount = 5; It defines the number of posts that can be displayed on a single page, while var displayPageNum = 5; defines the number of blocks of pages which are displayed (like: 1 2 3 4 5) under the post section.

Once you completed these tasks , save your template and open your blog in a new window. Now you can see a footer navigation under your blogger posts .

Its essential tactic to show related Posts in Blogger , to improve usage statics and page views . If a definite number of related articles are shown at the bottom of each posts,there is chance for the reader to click on those links and head over to the next page . Related posts widget on Blogger depends on how you name your post labels .

Here’s how you can do that ,
1. Open your Blogger template’s Layout and select Edit HTML .
2. Download full template for future use .
3. Click on expand widgets templates.
4. Press Cntrl+F and search for tag and insert the following script above that line .
Download
5. Similar to step 4 , find out section .<p><data:post.body/></p> . Anything you post under this line would appear at end of each posts.
6. Now paste the following code below that line .
Download
7. Save your template

Now if everything went fine , your post pages would show related articles depending on the applied label.You can customize the color and font size of the widget by editing the bold elements in the CSS code(download 1).

#related-posts .widget h2, #related-posts h2 {
color : #333333;
font-size : 13px;
font-weight : normal;
margin : 5px 7px 0;
padding : 0 0 5px;
}

The default number of related posts are 5 as set on the code . You change it by editing max-results=5 in the JavaScript ( download 2) code to a suitable value .

Providing RSS/Email subscription in Blogger blog is the easiest way to keep in touch with the users . Users are alerted by email when the blog contents are updated . As far i have seen , Feedburner and Feedblitz are the major players in RSS/Email subscription services . Here in this example , i am using Feedburner.com .

Go Feedburner.com and sign up with your Google account . At this point , you can choose a suitable name for your feed . After successful registration , they will be taking you to the Myfeeds section . Click on your feed for moving on to the dashboard . Select publicize menu from the five available tabs . Now you are about to enable email subscription in Blogger . So select email subscription and click on activate this service.

On the other side , open your Blogger dashboard and go to the layout section. Choose a location for your Email form to appear . Click on add a Page element /Gadget (For new blogger) and select JavaScript . Copy the and paste the Email form code from feedburner onto it and save the widget . Edit JavaScript code to change the height,width,border color ,text ,scroll and other parameters . After building a good sum of subscribers , you can choose to display your feed count , same from the publicize menu in Feedburner .

Adding Read more in Blogger posts is pretty difficult compared to WordPress . Since we don’t have a more tag on Blogger, we need to implement a template hack for getting this done.

Open Edit HTML from blogger Layout section and expand widget templates .
Copy this JavaScript code and paste it before </head> in your Blogger template code . Now , press Cntrl+F and search for <p><data:post.body/></p> . The block of codes found near to the above line usually looks as shown below .

<div class=’post-body>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<div style=’clear: both;’/> <!– clear for photos floats –>
</div

You have to edit them as shown below to add read more in Blogger posts .

<div class='post-body'  expr:id='"post-"   data:post.id' >

     <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>        <style>#fullpost{display:inline;}</style>        <p><data:post.body/></p>     <b:else/>        <style>#fullpost{display:none;}</style>

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

       <span id='showlink'>        <a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read More......</a>       </span>       <script type='text/javascript'>         checkFull("post-"   "<data:post.id/>");       </script&gt; </b:if>

<div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats --></div>

Make sure that the codes(in orange) above <p><data:post.body/></p> are added just after <div class=’post-body’ (or you have to find a similar one in your template) .

Now the template part is over and the next task is to add read more in Blogger posts. Save the template and return for a new post .

This is the part above read more
<span id=”fullpost”>
Here goes Read more ..
</span>

So when each time you blog , insert <span id=”fullpost”> and
</span> in “compose” to access read more into your Blogger posts .

Update : Blogger team added expandable post option in Blogger blogs .
