How to show only post title in label / archive pages? Blogger default setting is not set to show only title links, but will show all article (title links and articles) under the same label or archive. Imagine if you have 20+ posts under 1 label / archive, when user click on label / archive link, your blog will show all 20+ articles (title and article) on one page. I think it is not effective, make computer slow loading and there are probabilities your visitors miss your interesting posts (because it is too much for the eyes to look at all the content in one page). So, when your blog already have lots of posts, you need to consider to set your blog to show only post title links on label / archive pages.



Many blogger experts had explained this hack method. I know this blogger hack from Bloganol.com, I have tried the method... very easy to do and it is work well. Then lets begin to install it.

First of all, log in to your blogger.com account - Go to Layout Setting - Edit HTML .. don't forget to backup your template.

Find this code <b:include data='post' name='post'/>

Change the code above with this code :

<b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl
!= data:blog.url'>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>

<h3 class='post-title'><a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a></h3>

<b:else/>

<b:include data='post' name='post'/>

</b:if>

<b:else/>

<b:include data='post' name='post'/>

</b:if>

Save your template and let's test it ... happy blogging :)
