TurnOut Mag & SchemerMag Templates updated! Posted: 01 Apr 2009 10:26 PM PDT Good news guys! I added to more functionalities to the two Free Premium blogger templates TurnOut Mag and SchemerMag that I released a couple of days ago. 1. AUTOMATIC THUMBNAILS on Homepage: Previously, we have to add small images to the top of the post to display thumbnails on the homepage. Even, if go to post pages, the thumbnails stay as thumbnails. But, now, I added the AutoThumbnails feature to the template. What it does? You can add big images to your posts, doesn't matter you add them at the top of the post or at the bottom of the post. This trick automatically grabs the picture from the post and resizes it on the homepage.. and the same pic appear in full size in the post pages. 2. AUTOMATIC Post Summarize and Read More... : Previously, we have to edit each and every post to display the summary on the homepage.. If we don't edit them.. the homepage looks crappy. But, with the additional feature I added, doesn't matter if you have 1 post or 1,000000 posts, the trick will automatically summarize the text for you on the homepage.. What next..? With these two additional features, Personally I feel, these are the top 2 Blogger templates of all time with so many features included...what do you say..? So, why not test the layout on your blog..? Download the Turnout Mag here and SchemerMag here. ------------------------------------------------- NOTE : You DON'T need to change these if you are downloading a FRESH COPY now! Downloaded the previous version (2 days ago) and want to change to this one? Simply make these couple of changes.. 1. FIND THIS: </head> AND ADD THIS CODE AFTER THAT <SCRIPT type='text/javascript'> var thumbnail_mode = &quot;no-float&quot; ; summary_noimg = 230; summary_img = 200; img_thumb_height = 80; img_thumb_width = 80; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT src='http://myblogtalk.com/bloggertemplates/turnoutmag/autoreadmorethumb.js' type='text/javascript'/> 2. FIND THIS: <style>#fullpost{display:none;}</style> <p><data:post.body/></p> and REPLACE it with this.. <DIV expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><p><data:post.body/></p></DIV> <SCRIPT type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;);</SCRIPT> and Done!
