Linking to Another Article in the New Blogger.

You can link your post to another article in the New Blogger. This is done when you are commenting on the other article or your blog post is about the other article......

In your blog post you will write about the other article and below the blog post you can show a link to the other article in case the blog reader after reading your post wishes to visit the other article to find out more about the topic. As an example I have linked this post to the original article in Classic Blogger Help section which describes how to use this link field in the old Blogger. Click on Related Article link below this post to see what I am talking about.

ENABLE LINK FIELD

First you will have to enable the Link Field in your blog. To do this go to Settings----->Formatting------>Scroll down to Show Link field-------->Yes------>Save Settings. This will enable the Link Field in the Post editor. See Picture below (Click on picture to enlarge it) :

INSERT CODE IN TEMPLATE

The next step will be to insert the code at the appropriate place in the template. To do this go to Template------->Edit Html------->Put a check in Expand Widgets Template box at the top of the Template text box.

Use Download Full template link to backup the template to PC before you make any changes to the Template.

Then scroll down in Edit Template text box till you come to the post footer part in the Blog Posts widget. You can place this code anywhere in the post footer. I have placed it below my labels.

<p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'>
<span class='post-labels'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<data:postLabelsLabel/>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>
</b:loop>
</b:if>

<b:if cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.link'>Related Article</a>
</b:if>

</span>
</p>

The original code is in blue. Insert the new code in red. Preview and Save Template. View Blog. See Picture Below.

FILL IN THE LINK FIELD

Whenever you post to your blog about some other article on the web go to that web page in your browser. Copy its link from the address bar and paste it in the Link field in your Post Editor. It will then automatically appear at the foot of your blog post on publishing.



PERMALINK
Permalinks are "permanent links" to blog posts. For example the link to this blog is :


In the new blogger every one of your posts can live on it's very own page—its the ultimate permalink. In Classic Blogger first you have to enable post pages by goimg to Settings------->Archiving------->Enable Post Pages-------->Yes-------->Save Settings. Then you have to insert this code in your template to make titles into Permalinks :


<a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>" title="permanent link"><$BlogItemTitle$></a>
