How To Add Related Posts List Below Your Post In Blogger.Com Blogs?

For WordPress blogs displaying related posts below posts isn’t a very difficult task. Just install a few plugins, activate them and your work is done.

But the case is different for Blogger.Com blogs. Here we have to do a lot more work. I mean to say that it is little complicated than doing the same in WordPress. Lets Move Forward.

Follow these steps given below:-

(If You Want To Display Related Posts In Your Sidebar)

1.) Click the button displayed below.

3.) Now without a second thought visit any of your posts and see this in action. Remember this widget will not display in homepage.

(If You Want To Display Related Posts Below Post Content)

1.) Go to Layout.

2.) Go to Edit HTML.

3.) Go to Edit Template.

4.) First back up your template. Do not skip this. If the trick does not work, you can restore back to your previous theme using your theme back up.

5.) Check Expand Widget Templates.

You will find a line,

<div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-3">

6.) After its </div> tag type,

<div id="related_posts">

7.) Go to the end of the code. You will find,

</body>

8.) Just before these paste,

<script src='http://www.google.com/jsapi'/>
<script src='http://brps.appspot.com/brps.js' type='text/javascript'/>

I hope at least you could give me a credit for my creation, BRPS (Blogger Related Post Service).

And the code for customization you copied from Code wiki is messed up. Please remove those span tags.

I don’t use Blogger any more but I really like your BRPS service. Having seen it in many of the Blogger.Com blogs, I can say that it is really worth having the BRPS plugin.

Saksham,

Thanks for the article. I had a bit of a trouble installing this script as it was resulting into an error stating some key is invalid. However by jumping to the link, that the error message contained, I could generate a key and it required me to replace ” with a script tag suggested by BPRS key generator.

It would be great if you could add this last step in the process you have stated above. All in all, it was a great and neat procedure.

Regards,
Manoj

I followed all the 9 steps from the section (If You Want To Display Related Posts Below Post Content) in your article above and when I did a preview of the blog, I got that error message.

I will try to recreate the scenario and post the procedure for sure.

Thanks.
