Change Font Style of Page Tabs easily in Blogger blogs (revisited)

Gosh! I wasn't aware until recently that Blogger's Template Designer has provided a wide variety of web fonts from Google Web Fonts API for the various elements in our blog's template. Previously, we had to be contented with just 7 default ones, namely, Arial, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet and Verdana.

But now, with the long list of font choices made available,  changing the font style and appearance of the page tabs would be a breeze! You will be spoilt with choice!

No need at all to edit the HTML of our blog's template as previously mentioned at my earlier tutorial or to tackle with custom CSS codes. Thus, I felt it'll be good to present an updated tutorial because there may be many bloggers (like me, previously) who are not aware of these high-quality, open-source web fonts that are offered by Blogger at the Template Designer.

How to center-align Pages/Pagelist gadget in Blogger

Thanks to Vanessa Morgan who had recently visited this blog and wanted to know how to center the horizontal page tabs below the blog's header. That spurred me to google for answers after several hours of failed attempts to do it on my own.

I'm terribly happy to have learned much from GreenLava, the guru at Blogger Sentral who's most helpful and generous in sharing his knowledge and expertise. THANK YOU!

By default, the Pagelist or Pages gadget is left-aligned in Blogger blogs but can be easily aligned to the center if you so desire.

that's located below the blog's header, by following these simple steps:

Change font style/size of Pages Tabs in Blogger blogs

I'm extremely delighted to have discovered how to customize the font for my Pages tabs to make it more interesting and lively!

Just learnt how to do that when I was preparing for my previous article, Create Pages in Blogger Blogs with ease, to share in this blog. That's why I've always found it so rewarding to share my knowledge, simply because in giving I receive much more! ;-)

Thanks so much to Aneesh of BloggerPlugins (comment dated March 27 2010 is referred) and W3Schools on CSS styling fonts who provided clues that aided me in getting the results that I've wanted for a long time. Yippee...I've managed to style the fonts of my header's title and description too in the process! :-)

Create Pages in Blogger Blogs with ease!

Did you know that you can now easily create pages in Blogger? Yes, Blogger has finally introduced this long awaited feature since early this year! Bless you, Blogger!

This was something that I had desired for my blogspot blogs for a long time, something similar to the pages seen in Wordpress-powered websites, like my garden blog here. Pages, whose tabs are normally placed strategically below the blog's header for easy access, is a great way to highlight important or essential information about your blog. Pages such as About, Contact, Archives, Sitemap and Blog List are the norm, beside Categories, Products, Services and others...the endless choices are yours to create! Nevertheless, bear in mind that Blogger allows only 10 stand-alone pages per blog. Pages and posts are quite similar except the former are not included in the blog's archives and feeds.

Create a Table of Contents or Sitemap for Blogger blogs

CAUTION: LATEST UPDATE ON DEC 12, 2013
Please ignore my tutorial below since it is no longer
applicable as Abu Farhan's script is now not workable.
Moreover, Google has issued a malware warning
on Abu Farhan's site as follows:
'This site may harm your computer'.

Another day of rejoicing! I'm overjoyed as I've just created a Sitemap Page here today! This is a better and more comprehensive way of displaying our Blogger blog's posts, sorted by labels and having them all contained in a single page, making them easily accessible and readily navigable for visitors and search engines alike. It brings alive posts that would otherwise have remained buried within our blog from readers' eyes, probably from blog owners' sight too...like, out of sight, out of mind!

This Table of Contents (TOC)/Sitemap generator widget (script) for Blogger-powered blogs, generously shared by Abu Farhan (thank you so much, Abu) [do not click both these links as per caution note above] is so easy and quick to install. And, the best part is, once installed, the script not only generates automatically a table of our blog's contents, but displays them neatly under 'label headings' in alphabetical order, as well as highlights with the "New!!" text to notify the 10 latest posts under each label. Awesome, huh!

A picture below to illustrate the impressive result!
