Customize posts headings and subheadings style with css

Image
Some how my "h2" heading is smaller than my "h3" heading. I am not sure why but it was an easy fix with custom CSS styling. All I need to do is add these codes with the "font-size:18px;" CSS styling I need. For other types of styling, I refer to  http://www.w3schools.com . Examples: Headings .post h2{ css style codes } Subheadings .post h3{ css style codes } Minor Headings .post h4{ css style codes } References, Sources and Credits: http://dailybloggiingtips.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-to-customize-blogger-heading-and.html

Some how my Blogger post footer elements cannot be rearrange, move or even toggle the visibility from the "Blog" widget settings located in the Blogger page elements. I guess this is what happens when you tinker your Blogger template too much and too many times. This is how i manage to fix it. Use "Revert Widget Templates to default" for the "Blog" widget. Note:  After you have revert the widget to default, any previous customization done within the widget code will be lost.

This is how you can dynamically use Blogger's labels as keywords in your keyword meta tag for each blog post. By using labels as the keywords, you can control meta keywords for each of your blog post pages for search engine optimization purposes. I found this method from www.seocentro.com website. This is how you can do it.

Directly upload photos to Facebook from webpages

Image
This is the oldest trick in the book of web browsers. How many times you have found yourself downloading an image from the web or internet into your local hard disk and upload the image to your Facebook account so you can share it with your friends? I bet you have been doing this ever since you start sharing photos in Facebook. There is an old trick which i think should work on all modern web browsers where you can get Facebook to fetch the image or photo file from an webpage and automatically upload it to your Facebook account. All this without downloading the image file to your local hard disk first. Important Note: Please do not use this to upload images or photos which do not belong to you. I am only using this to fetch my photos from my Google Picasa Web account for sharing in my Facebook account.
