Hi guys!

I've seen on a few blogs that they have a "you may also like" section underneath their posts. I can't figure out how to do that. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Emily

Lisarenee | 19 comments It's done with Link Within:

One thing to know, when you log on and it gives you the pretty pictures that tell you what to do, ignore them at first. Click on the hyperlink listed above the first picture. If memory serves, that was the key to adding the widget to your blog.

Delaney I notice how many reviews do like a box around the summary and such, but I can't seem to know how to do it. How do you do it?

Put in your email, blog adresss, the other things in the white box. Once you hit "get widget" it will pretty much do the rest for you. If there is anything else you need to do, there are very clear instructions on how.

How do you get the white box in the first place?

I was wondering the same. Like on this blog:

I do have LinkWithin for the "You may also like...", but I don't know how to get a box around the summary like that. Thanks!

Actually, the way I WAS doing it was to select the text and use the " marks in the editing bar which indents what you've selected. While selected I would also change the background color (and maybe the text color for effect). This worked very nicely. HOWEVER, somehow that has changed and doesn't work when I try to highlight the text and change the background color. it changes it but it doesn't BOX IT. Each line is changed and that is NOT a good effect.

Anyone have better ideas?

Um, put what in the HTML? Some spaces? Or is my computer not loading something?

Could you maybe link me to that post? Thank you!

I went back to one of my posts that I had used the blockquote/color styling and here is some of the code from the html page. When I created this, you simply selected the text, clicked the " icon for blockquote in the formatting bar, clicked the background color you wanted and there was your beautiful blockquote. However, that is not as easily done now. But the following test dropped between some paragraph breaks in the html screen will give you the concept.

It doesn't like the html code here because it converts it to a viewable instead of showing the actual code.
In the following, put < before the word blockquote and then > at the end of that line. Repeat the addition of the <> symbols for each line.

blockquote class="tr_bq"
div style="background-color: #6fa8dc;"
br /
br />/blockquote

Skjam! | 335 comments hmm. Linked Within seems to be recommending the same three posts on every single new post. Tried turning it off and on. No joy.

I finally got LinkWithin working properly. I followed the instructions found on this..."


No wonder when I tried to update mine, it wasn't working! I've resorted to manually installing a separate one so I could choose the layout instead.

Hectic HTML that. -_-

Crystal (wisegirlonfire) Two of my posts are showing a trend at being in the gadget, more often than I would like. Is there anyway to change this?
