How to Customize Post Title In Blogger- Increase Traffic

Looking for another apple of the eye in your blog? Customizing post title is an essential undertaking as a professional blogger. Having the options to change the margin, adding border-radius on it, styling and adjusting the size of the font, adding background and have a hover effect on it really admire your visitors upon landing your site. In this article I will show you not only the steps on how to customize the post titles but also on how to increase traffic in your blog upon applying the H2-tag on it settings.




 First, we will change the settings of your Post Title. By default, all blogger templates are designed in such a way that the Homepage Main Title is treated with the H1 tag, Blog Description or Header dates and sidebars headers are treated with an H2 tag , H3 is assigned for post titles. We know the fact that your Post Titles are second most important part of the blog after the main title and Sidebar Titles and Post description are just next in line after to your post titles. Therefore we should threat your Post Titles with an H2 tag not H3 tag


Treat Post Titles with an H2-tag 


Step 1. Log in to your Blogger account
Step 2. Go to Blogger Dashboard
Step 3. Click the Template button (back-up your template for reference purposes)
Step 4. Hit the Edit HTML button
Step 5. Look for the opening code below and change it to <h2 [keep changing that for all (12) occurrences]
<h3>

 Step 6.  Now search the closing tag below and change it  to </h2> [again keep on changing that tag for all (12) occurences]
</h3>

Step 7. It is now time to customize your Post Titles by treating them also with an h2-tag.
        7.1 Look for the code below
h3.post-title {

and change it to
h2.post-title {
   7.2 Just below the above code  (h2.post-title { ), paste the following css code
border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px;
font:24px Boogaloo;
font-weight:normal;
margin-left:0;
margin-top:-15px;
padding:0;
color:#000000;
text-transform: capitalize;
text-align:center;
-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease;
-moz-transition: all 0.2s;
-ms-transition: all 0.2s;
-o-transition: all 0.2s;
background:#ddd;
}
 h2.post-title:hover {
border-radius:0;
 background:#F78181;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 -2px 15px #FE2E2E;
 box-shadow: 0 -1px 15px #FE2E2E;
border:1px solid #ff0000;
}

 Customization:

  • Change the font size (24px). If higher value will increase the size of the font and lower value will also decreases its font size.
  •  And the  family (Boogaloo) to Helvetica, Sans-serif, Arial, Georgia, Times New Roman etc.
  • Remove the text in orange if you want to disable the hover effect on the post titles.
  • Change the hexadicimal color 000000 with your own. Please select it here.
Step 8. Save your Template!You have now a newly customized post title and I believe that this can help  increase your traffic. God Bless us!

How to Put Links within a Specific Page

Linkage on the Internet is a standard part of designing a website because it is included as a basic skill in any course on creating a website. When someone clicks on a link on your site, the browser normally takes that person to the top of the new document. That is the normal and expected behaviour.

I was amazed `on how those professional bloggers made a post and within that certain post they add link and when I clicked the link, it didn't go to the other post or page but just go to a certain specific height within that post.  Wow it's amazing. I called this personally as "self linkages". We will not add javascript on your template but just a simple HTML code to your Blogger Post editor where you want to apply this effect.The principle behind this  tutorial:
  • Create a link pointing to the anchor. This is the word where you add the link wherein if you click this link you will be directed to a certain height (target) within your page.  
  • Create the anchor itself.This is the target height of your page.

Putting Links (Self-Anchoring) Within a Specific Page 

Step 1. Open a post (much better if it is lenghty) and get the post link or you can create new post, publish it and of course, get the link.
Step 2. From your post, select a word where you put the link ( in step 1). Do this as you normally put link(s) in your posts.
The normal link would look like the one below,
http://mybloggersnipers.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-make-blockqoute-styles-in-blogger.html

 But in order to put link to your anchor you need to add some word on it at the last portion. See example below,
http://mybloggersnipers.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-make-blockqoute-styles-in-blogger.html#gradient

The link above is now your link pointing to your anchor.

After creating the link pointing to your anchor, it is now time to create  the anchor itself or the target height within your page.
Step 3.  Copy the code below as your guide,
<a href="
http://mybloggersnipers.blogspot.com/2014/09/add-your-profile-pic-or-avatar-next-to.html" name="gradient"></a>

  • Replace the orange bold texts with your own link.
  • Replace also the red bold text with tag that is found in your link pointing to your anchor ( in step 2). These tags must match with each other.
After customizing the above codes,  select a certain  specific height location of your post and paste it (it must be in HTML mode).
Step 4. Update your post and you're done.
