1. Open your Blogger dashboard, go to Theme - Edit HTML open search window holding on keyboard CTRL+F and write in search window </head> press Enter on your keyboard. Now paste before closing tag </head> the following code:
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js'></script>
2. Next step, find closing tag ]]></b:skin> and paste above it CSS code:
.post-related { display: inline-block; background: #fff; padding: 10px; width:100%; } .post-box .heading { margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: center; margin-top: 10px; position: relative; } .post-box .heading:after { content: "" ; position: absolute; top: 100%; left: 50%; margin-left: -11px; width: 21px; height: 1px; margin-top: 2px; background: #b565a7; } .item-related { width: 31.6%; display: block; float: left; margin-right: 10px; height: 100%; } .item-related:last-child { margin: 0!important; } .item-related .link {display: block; margin: -1px; margin-bottom: 0;} .item-related img {margin-left:0px !important; display: block; opacity: 1; width: 100%; height: 200px; object-fit: cover; } .item-related h3 { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.71429; font-family: Muli; text-transform: uppercase; } img.noops-smly { padding: 0 !important; margin-top: -2px !important; width: 19px; display: inline; }
@media (max-width: 520px)
.item-related {
width: 100%!important;
}
3. Now we need to find tag <data:post.body/> of which there can be two in the template, we need the second one and after it, we post the following code:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
