Rotate my Blogger images

Blogger-uploaded images can be rotated by modifying the url to include '-r90' (or 180, or 270).

Take, for example, the image below.


URL: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWVgBklYsvkxN7xwRlHuU8XWHdJTW7kpjJcEzMo2lD65tV4vwXuwHnPa3eiXZqUfpkdAYJMaTaPXO9RiEl1XY_tEfHWBEmBmnppNqP6_SovKyOe8gLd9-09TimKKdDZpIuMrjiPvg5hrOI/s200/IMG_2358.JPG

If we switch the s200 to s200-r90, we get the following image instead.

Happy rotating!

Remove the header image for posts in Emporio

The new Emporio template features a large, blurred-out copy of the featured image for a post as the header image. Some like this feature, some don't - here's how to remove it if you're not a fan! Head to Theme => Edit HTML Search for ' data:view.isSingleItem ' The code that you see should look something like this:  <b:if cond='data:view.isSingleItem'> <b:if cond='data:widgets.Blog.first.posts.first.featuredImage'> <b:include data='{ image: data:widgets.Blog.first.posts.first.featuredImage, selector: &quot;.bg-photo&quot; }' name='responsiveImageStyle'/> <div class='bg-photo-container'> <div class='bg-photo'/> </div> </b:if> </b:if> Delete the XML including the <b:if> tag code. Happy Emporio'ing!

Get nicer thumbnails for my Post snippets

I recently received some feedback that my thumbnails are a bit nicer than the standard thumbnails offered by Blogger. This is because I use a custom snippet in my Blog widget, to produce bigger thumbnails, using the new resizeImage operator . Note: This post leverages the techniques described in the article about  Responsive images for Google photos . A note: The resizing behaviour provided on Blogger requires that the image is hosted on a Google platform to work - provided that you add your images by uploading them in the editor, this technique should work. Creating a responsive, resized Thumbnail The resize operator takes 3 parameters - the URL of the image, the width to resize it to, and an optional ratio for a cropped version of the image. <img expr:src=’resizeImage(data:post.firstImageUrl, 300)’ /> In my Blog widget, I've customized the HTML so that on feed views (homepage, search, etc), I display post snippets instead of the full post.
