Reaction buttons helps the readers of your blog to react to your blog posts. With help of this feature, you can get feedback from your readers.

Hide and Show Blogger Widgets

You may have noticed that all the widgets (or gadgets) you add to your blog, will be displayed on all pages by default. But it is really important to have control over the showcase of various widget in blog page because some widgets are actually meant for some specific pages. Hiding certain element inside your blog pages is not only a matter of design, but sometimes it is very much necessary. For example, 'Share Post' widget should be displayed in every pages except home page and static pages because it doesn't make much sense when 'Share Post' widget are displayed in home page of your blog. This tutorial will show you how to show/hide a widget in blogger. You can even control blogger official widgets like 'About Me', 'Labels', 'Popular posts' etc,. Now in order to do this, you have to enclose those widgets within a few codes. But before I show you the codes, I have to clarify few things about blogger.

Remove Attribution Widget from Blogger

The 'Attribution' widget is that widget in the footer that says 'Powered By Blogger'. Blogger's terms and conditions do not allow to remove this widget from the blog. Although presence of this widget is little bit of annoying. If you've ever tried to remove this widget, you may have noticed that this widget is locked into your blog i.e. if you go to 'Layout' panel, you'll find that you can't move (and hence can't remove) this widget. Even if you click 'Edit' on 'Attribution' widget, a new window appears which doesn't contain a 'Remove' button on it (displayed below).

Backup and Restore Blogger Template

Backing-up your 'Blogger' template is that essential thing every blogger should know and apply this before they are going to make any changes in their template irrespective of how good they are in coding. May be this is the boring thing to do, however you should make a decent habit of backing-up every time you make an attempt to change your template.'Export Blog' also does the same job in broadly way. With the 'Export Blog' you can completely backup your blog including blog posts and comments. But template backup is the best thing to do than export your blog because export blog may come handy in circumstances when you accidentally delete your blog or some blog post.
