Fade in and Fade out effect for elements in Blogger blog

Jquery is the most popular Javascript framework .With jquery ,we don't need to work much for creating website effects as we did with Javascript . And in this post ,I will show you the way to create fade in / fade out effect for elements in website using Jquery . It look like hover effect which applied to links .



You can take a look in live demo
Steps to make this effect :
1, Open your Blog template and insert this code before </head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
This code is for inserting Jquery framework into your blog
2,Insert this code after the code above :

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// OPACITY OF BUTTON SET TO 50%
$("element").css("opacity","0.5");
       
// ON MOUSE OVER
$("element ").hover(function () {
                                         
// SET OPACITY TO 100%
$(this).stop().animate({
opacity: 1.0
}, "slow");
},
       
// ON MOUSE OUT
function () {
           
// SET OPACITY BACK TO 50%
$(this).stop().animate({
opacity: 0.5
}, "slow");
});
});
</script>

in this code , if you want to apply fade in /fade out effect to a specific element in your blog , replace element to id of this element .For example ,we have a div layout tag with id="div1" like this :
<div id="div1">
.....................content
................
</div>
to apply fade in/fade out effect to this div tag ,we change ' element ' to '#div1' like this :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// OPACITY OF BUTTON SET TO 50%
$("#div1").css("opacity","0.5");
       
// ON MOUSE OVER
$("#div1").hover(function () {
                                         
// SET OPACITY TO 100%
$(this).stop().animate({
opacity: 1.0
}, "slow");
},
       
// ON MOUSE OUT
function () {
           
// SET OPACITY BACK TO 50%
$(this).stop().animate({
opacity: 0.5
}, "slow");
});
});
</script>


And fade in/fade out effect will be applied to the div tag which id = "div1" (included all of its content)
If you want to apply this effect to many elements in your site ,you can make a class for elements you want ,and change "element" to " .name_of_class"
For example ,we want to add fade in/fade out effect to images in blog , we can add a class "fade" to all image elements like this :
<img src="url_image_1" class="fade"/>
<img src="url_image_2" class="fade"/>
<img src="url_image_3" class="fade"/>
<img src="url_image_4" class="fade"/>
And change "element" in script to ".fade" :

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// OPACITY OF BUTTON SET TO 50%
$(".fade").css("opacity","0.5");
       
// ON MOUSE OVER
$(".fade").hover(function () {
                                         
// SET OPACITY TO 100%
$(this).stop().animate({
opacity: 1.0
}, "slow");
},
       
// ON MOUSE OUT
function () {
           
// SET OPACITY BACK TO 50%
$(this).stop().animate({
opacity: 0.5
}, "slow");
});
});
</script>



So Fade in/Fade out effect will be applied to all elements which have class="fade"
 I hope this post helpful to you . If you want more ,you can save the live demo and see the source code .
 If you see Blogger errors when saving the code ,you can encode the script in this post before inserting to template file . You can encode here .Just paste the script in this post to textarea and click on Encode ,then paste the result to template file .
Enjoy ^^

Blogger supported 'add pages' function

Like Wordpress ,Blogger now support 'add pages' function . It's an essential function for all bloggers to make about page ,or contact page . In previous posts ,I showed you the way to make a post become page ,but now ,it's not necessary . You can make a page by simply click on Add pages under Posting tab .


As  showed in picture above ,each blog can add maximum 10 pages . With a small blog ,I think this is enough .
Once your page is published, you can link to it from the new Pages widget. The Pages widget lets you add links to your pages as tabs at the top of your blog, or as links in your blog's sidebar
In the Pages widget, you can decide which pages will have links, and in what order they will appear. You can also choose whether or not you want links automatically created for pages when you create them by checking or unchecking the box to the left of Add New Pages by Default.


A notice for you all ,this function is unavailable in Blogger publish mode , it work only in Blogger Draft mode ,and there's no information found in Blogger Buzz . I guess Google need more time to test this function .So if you don't see 'add pages' link in Blogger mode (www.blogger.com ) ,try to login in draft mode at http://draft.blogger.com

Showing live twitter stream in your blog using Jquery's Livetwitter plugin


Although Twitter now work as an instant messenger service, it was originally designed as a microblogging tool. The idea was to give short updates on what’s going on around you to a group of friends.

Twitter does still work well that way. Only now, your group of “friends” might be thousands of people, and what’s going on around you might be a natural disaster, an election or a concert. Twitter can be an excellent tool for “live Tweeting” these big events.

If you have a blog/website for an event ,you might want to add a live tweets streams on your site to keep track on what people are thinking .
And here is the solution for adding live tweets streaming into your site,a Jquery plugin named Jquery.Livetwitter



1,At first , click here to download Jquery.LiveTwitter plugin .
2,Upload file Jquery.Livetwitter.js to a host . I recommend Google code for an unlimited bandwidth and storage hosting .
3,Create a HTML/Javascript widget in your Blogger page elements .
4,Paste these lines into widget content :
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script src="your hosting / jquery.livetwitter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
5,To add style to live tweets streams widget , paste this code into widget content :
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
        body {
            background: #E1EBFF;
            font-family: Verdana;
            font-size: 13px;
            color: #111;
            margin: 40px 120px;
            line-height: 1.4;
        }
        h2 {
            margin-top: 40px;
            font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
            font-size: 24px;
            font-weight: bold;
        }
        a, a:visited {
            color: #066999;
        }
        a:hover {
            color: #111;
        }
        .tweet {
            background: #fff;
            margin: 4px 0;
            width: 500px;
            padding: 8px;
            -moz-border-radius: 8px;
            -webkit-border-radius: 8px;
        }
        .tweet img {
            float: left;
            margin: 0 8px 4px 0;
        }
        .tweet .text {
            margin: 0;
        }
        .tweet .time {
            font-size: 80%;
            color: #888;
            white-space: nowrap;
        }

        #twitterSearch .tweet {
            min-height: 24px;
        }
        #twitterSearch .tweet .text {
            margin-left: 32px;
        }
    </style>

You can modify values in this code for what you want .
6, Now adding code to make this plugin work :
<div id="twitterSearch" class="tweets"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">

        // Basic usage
        $('#twitterSearch').liveTwitter('keyword', {limit: 5, rate: 5000});
    
    </script>
in this code :
-the 'keyword' is the topic you want to show tweets ,for example ,you want to show live tweets on election ,the 'keyword' is 'election' .
-Limit :5 mean showing 5 latest tweets . You can increase this number to show more
-rate :5000 mean the time to refresh 5000 milliseconds .
7,Instead of showing tweets from others ,you can show your tweets only by using this script :


<div id="twitterUserTimeline" class="tweets"></div>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        $('#twitterUserTimeline').liveTwitter('username', {limit: 5, refresh: false, mode: 'user_timeline'});

    </script>
username : mean the name of twitter account you want to show its tweets .
Ok,you are done .
Save your widget and see the result .
I see there is a widget in Blogger for showing Twitter updates ,but I love this plugin because it's easy to use and has a lot of option . You can see its option at this page
